I'm ashamed to admit that that by the time I found the --tk option I was half done with the script, and it never crossed my mind that I could pass the --unified flag to it. I do have quite a bit of time invested in my terminal based workflow at this point (for example the fonts and background colors all match my editor, and some other trivial stuff that makes the mode-switch to a Tk window a little jarring) so I do prefer a fully text based solution, but I do have to say that the new Tck/Tk diffs are nice and certainly much more accessible than the way I'm doing it. So between being half done, the above mentioned text bias, and the fact that my fingers have already grown accustomed to typing f-diff (I used to just pipe it to less -S) and still getting to use 'q' to end the diff rather than Alt-F4 I just finished the script instead of adapting to the new regime :) On the other hand, the Tcl/Tk based solution is (I assume) taking its cues directly from fossil's diff engine, so at least it can be counted on to always add its color correctly... > The above requires that you have Tcl/Tk installed on your system.

It doesn't always scale itself appropriately (it's pretty narrow), but this is likely due more to my poor line-length discipline than anything else. > >> >> >> Themba >> >> _______________________________________________ >> fossil-users mailing list >> fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org >> http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users >> > > > > -- > D.
