Integrating Diffmerge with Dreamweaver Mac OS X

Post by pickledegg » Fri Jun 13, 2008 6:46 am

Does anyone know how to integrate diffmerge as the 3rd party comparison tool in dreamweaver on the mac?

According to the Adobe Docs, you have to browse to the 'command line utility' that launches the application, not the app itself.
For example for the standard diff tool I'd browse to usr/bin/opendiff, but does anyone know how I'd open up diffmerge in this way? Many thanks!

Try using the command line wrapper script.

I've not used Dreamweaver, so I can't say for sure
how to get it to work on the MAC, but let me suggest
this.

In the .dmg, I included a shell script to make it easy
to launch DiffMerge from the command line. There's
a script, manpage, and some instructions for installing
it.

Try installing the shell script and then pointing
Dreamweaver at it.

Hope this helps,
jeff
