Screenshot showing error message
I have successfully used KDiff3 with TortoiseGit on Windows for years.
Unfortunately, Kdiff3 1.11.* breaks the integration. When requesting a diff of
most files, an error dialog appears that says "Opening of Files Failed". See
attached screenshot. By most files, it happens to about of 80% of files - ever
so often one works. I have not discerned a reason as to why.
Reverting to KDiff3 1.10.7 resolves the issue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install TortoiseGit on Windows 11 (I'm using 2024H2)
2. Checkout a Git repo
3. Modify a file
4. Right click the file, select TortoiseGit | Diff.
5. See error message
I have setup KDiff3 following the TortoiseGit instructions here:
https://tortoisegit.org/docs/tortoisegit/tgit-dug-settings.html
Meaning, the command line used to run KDiff3 is:
C:\Path-To\kdiff3.exe %base %mine --L1 %bname --L2 %yname
