Since many input files must be selectable, the program has a special open dialog:
|
|
|
</p><div class="screenshot"><div xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="mediaobject"><hr><img src="open_dialog.png"><hr></div></div><p>
|
|
|
The open dialog allows to edit the filenames by hand, selecting a file
|
|
|
via the file-browser ("File...") or allows to choose recent files from
|
|
|
the drop-down lists. If you open the dialog again, then the current names
|
|
|
still remain there. The third input file is not required. If the
|
|
|
entry for "C" remains empty, then only a two file diff analysis will be
|
|
|
done.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
You can also select a directory via "Dir...". If for A a directory is specified
|
|
|
then a directory-comparison/merge starts. If A specifies a file but B, C or
|
|
|
the output specify a directory, then <span class="application">KDiff3</span> uses the filename from A in the
|
|
|
specified directories.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
If "Merge" is selected, then the "Output"-line becomes editable. But it
|
|
|
is not required to specify the output filename immediately. You can also
|
|
|
postpone this until saving.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
The "Configure..."-button opens the options-dialog, so that you can set
|
|
|
the options before running the analysis.
