Bug ID: 407260
Summary: Cannot compare directories via command-line
Product: kdiff3
Version: 1.8.x
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: reeves...@gmail.com
Reporter: r...@rufflewind.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The command "kdiff3 dir1 dir2" used to work, but now it doesn't.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Assuming you have two directories, dir1 and dir2, run "kdiff3 dir1 dir2" in the
terminal.
OBSERVED RESULT
kdiff3 displays the diff of the two directories in the GUI, and shows a modal
dialog telling you a summary of the comparison. However, once you dismiss the
dialog box, the diff disappears and kdiff3 complete forgets about these two
directories.
EXPECTED RESULT
Dismissing the dialog box should not cause the diff to disappear. Instead, the
user should be able to navigate the diff to see what the individual differences
are. (This was the old behavior, which broke within the last year or so.)
