cannot find executable on 64 bit windows

[slestak]

This plugin has the path set to "Program Files", however, on my 64-bit win7 machine that is not where it was installed.

Could/should this be abstracted to 2 config keys:

1. path to diff executable
2. arguments to diff command

This way any diff tool can be configured, not just winmerge.

Yeah... We just ran into that issue the other day for a different tool.

I was initially thinking this may be applicable as a generic VCS plugin, but Tortoise is a GUI-based tool that isn't as easy to generify as strict command line tools. With SVN being a little archaic, I tend to use TortoiseSVN to browse history and do graphical diffs, cuz I can get more done more quickly. Would be good if the SublimeText org could put together a standard command-line VCS plugin, and even use Sublime as the diff viewer...

I definitely agree with fixing the 64-bit issue. Thanks for the report!

or port the vimdiff logic. I used vimdiff as my diff tool for a long time.

I will see if I can patch this if you want.

I replied in email how I miss vimdiff already. Wonder if that code is portable, at least in theory.

That would be awesome if you can look into it. Although, that sounds like it
should be a separate plugin/package for sublime completely. I am actually
the main admin for GitHub org. I would be happy to add you if you want. That
way, you can create repos and contribute to this or any other goodies as
well.

Cheers,
Greg

I am still working on my 1st plugin and it is in alpha stage. It is
already hosted on GH.

Necro lol. Is this project still alive? I've been looking for an easy diff/merge tool for sublime any hints?

[FichteFoll]

Depending on your use case, there a different options.

• The built-in tools for diffing in ST4 that show their results in a unified diff syntax in an output panel at the bottom
  • Selecting two tabs (e.g. with ctrl+click), right-clicking the tab bar and selecting "Diff selected tabs…"
  • For an individual file, you can diff it against what is currently saved on disk using the diff_changes command (needs to boung to a key, e.g. via { "keys": ["ctrl+alt+d"], "command": "diff_changes" },)
• https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Clipboard%20Diff similar to the above
• https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Diffable
• https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Sublimerge%20Pro (commercial)

For working with a VCS like git, you have other Sublime-related options:

• Sublime Merge, the separate application built for exactly this purpose by the same developers.
• https://packagecontrol.io/packages/GitSavvy
• https://packagecontrol.io/packages/GitDiffView (not for Windows)
• https://packagecontrol.io/packages/GitDiffHelper

That said, no, this project is very much unmaintained. I'm willing to review and merge pull requests, but I'm not interested in the package itself since I 1. use git & Sublime Merge, and 2. use Linux.
