Bit late I suppose, but I just discovered this when clicking on Diff in gnome commander and being prompted that meld is missing (or similar). So I installed it in SL6 and added a context menu entry. Here a small low quality gif. Screenshot shows merging.
Thank you. There is also KDiff3 which do you prefer ? They both look really comprehensive. (Sind das alles Bundesgenossen - die Entwickler ?)
An article on Meld: Comparing and merging files with Meld I'm using Kdiff3, but i don't recall the differences between them. Besides those 3, there's also Diffuse.
Thanks Pedro. I have looked at all of them now and for Kubuntu have decided on kompare. It seems less convoluted i.e. easier to use than the other Kubuntu options. For gnome I am sticking to meld.
How the heck are you making those animated shots, Ocky? That is so cool. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me for a second. I need to learn how to do that. You produced one the other day in another thread, as well. Later...
Once youv'e done one it's easy peasy. all done with gimp and/or with gimp and byzanz (the gif animation tool in the repos.) Check it out.
