George,
DIFF fails when comparing an open tab with a known file.
(This is when the DIFF Dialog window shows a file name for one File and just 'TAB n' for the other).
The hiccup comes because I usually have "Ignore Comments" ticked and DIFF is unable to find the AUTO file for the 'TAB n' file.
Now I reckon it is unlikely that folks would compare data if it comes from different types, so I suggest three possible solutions, feel free to pick one:
If you can't deduce the AUTO filename for one of the files...
Option 1: Follow this hierachy:
- if the "other" file is associated with an AUTO file, use the same for both files.
- if not, use the AUTO file name specified the edit PROFILE for 'TAB n'
Option 2: Add a AUTO filename field to the DIFF dialog for each file (most flexible approach)
Option 3: Both the above ;-)
Thx
