[closed] command line options - readonly

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 3:28 pm

is there a way to open 2 files via command line, where one of them is explicitly specified as read-only and the other one is still editable?
this would be useful for diffs integrated with existing version control systems where left file is in repository and right file is writeable working copy

BTW great tool, looking forward to 3way merge

No, currently there is no such key, although I could add one in future. You can however set RO attribute for one of files before invoking Compare It!, so it will not be editable.

would be quite usefull for us as a future feature

we are using subversion repositories, where we don't want to mess manually with file attributes in the local .svn directory

OK, since it is not a single request I will add this key in next update.
