Compare It! as SourceSafe compare tool

Post by brazil42 »

Hi,

I have configured MS SourceSafe to use Compare It! als compare tool. (Extras->Options->User defined editors)

My problem is, that CI blocks SourceSafe or VisualStudio.
When I do a "show differences" in VisualStudio and CI comes up, it often hangs, if I press Ctrl-F to find a string.

Has someone else seen this problem? Any ideas how to avoid it?

I'm using CI 3.8.6.1769 and VisualStudio 2005 on Vista Ultimate.

Cheers

Thank you for your report!
Does this happend if you are using CompareIt stand alone?
If somebody could report same problem, I will appreciate this - I don;t have latest SS at hand for quick tests.

I am using compare it in vs2005 with no problems in windows xp.

However i would like compare it to allow a argument for a merged file.

It would be nice if you can add an extra argument to the compareit.exe
file path 1, file path 2, merge file path

Basically, I would like to indicate in the application which file i want to use as the merge file. either file1 or file2. maybe a check box. Then compare it spits the file out to the merge path on a save, or merge button click.


Thanks,

Walter
