The location of the bbdiff command line tool inside the application bundle might change again in a later release (the location of this file inside the app is not a way to interact with it that's endorsed or recommended by BareBones Software) 2. We prefer not to require people to install the command line tools for an application we integrate with if it's not strictly necessary. Using the supported AppleEvent interface to show a diff inBBEdit makes integration completely independent from the command line tools. Plus, it should work with current, previous and future releases ofBBEdit. All the best, - Dirk the Versions team This makes little sense to me as well. BareBones provides an external interface to the tool via their command line tools and you've made the choice to delve into the app itself rather than use the interface they provide. I agree with others who suggested in essence that anyone serious enough to be using Subversion will have the BBEdit's command tools installed. Your symlink work-around (which does of course work) is simply providing a circuitous root to their provided interface. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Versions group.

Re: BBEdit 9.1 update + show diff
Would it make sense to use the INSTALLED version first and if not found in the installed path: /usr/bin/bbdiff If not found only then use the uninstalled version in the bundle?
