File compare with sync preview

[voxen]

Hi,

SuperFlexible on PC allows to define a program that can file compare between local files and preview files (from remote). On PC I'm using BeyondCompare for this.

However, this option does not exist in Mac version of SuperFlexible.
Why? I really need this as I work with other developers and need to track the changes before downloading files from my ftp server.

Thanks for advice.

Apaprently it hasn't been implemented yet. Which diff tool would you recommend? So I can try it when implementing this item.

Here are the ones I found when I moved to Mac:
- DeltaWalker (http://www.deltopia.com/)
- Araxis Merge (http://www.araxis.com/merge_mac/index.html)
- Changes (http://connectedflow.com/changes/)
- FileMerge and DiffMerge (free)

I hope you can implement this as soon as possible, its the most important feature for a small team who share code through a FTP server and need to deal with conflicting sources.

Thanks a lot to look at it when you can!

It has been added to version 5.55 now.

The external diff tool to use must be configured on the Preferences dialog, tab sheet Misc.

The external tool can be invoked via command line or AppleScript. Examples are shown on the Preferences dialog, based on the diff tool "Changes".

For the sample command line /usr/bin/chdiff, you need to "Install Terminal Utility" once, from the Changes application menu.
