If you're using straight extdiff, you're probably being bitten by process forking. Extdiff creates the temporary files, launches your app, waits for the app to exit, then deletes the temporary files. If you app forks a background process and exits, there will be a race between the background app reading the temporary files before extdiff deletes them. This is one of the (many) reasons I added the visual diff dialog in 0.8. It waits until you close the dialog to delete the temporary files. So your diff tool can do as it likes. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
