There are a few right-mouse context menu items worth mentioning here:
|
Open Pair in New DiffMerge Window |
Opens the pair of files or folders in a new window. |
|
Copy Left Pathname to Clipboard |
Copies the full pathname of the item in the left tree to the clipboard. |
|
Copy Right Pathname to Clipboard |
Copies the full pathname of the item in the right tree to the clipboard. |
|
Copy Left to Right |
Copies the file, symlink, shortcut or folder in the left tree to the right tree. If the right side does not exist, it will be created. If the right side does exist, it will be overwritten. The new item will be placed in the same relative location in the right tree as it has in the left tree. If the parent directory on the right does not exist, it will be created first. Caution: This will create or overwrite the item in the right tree. If this window was opened by a version control tool, you may still need to tell it about the new files/folders. If the version control tool asked DiffMerge to show an historical view, the right side may refer to a temporary location (that may be deleted by the version control tool after DiffMerge exits). If the item is a folder, only the folder itself will be created in the right tree. To copy the folder and its contents use the Copy Left to Right Recursively command. |
|
Copy Right to Left |
As above but reversed. Caution: This will create or overwrite the item in the left tree. If this window was opened by a version control tool, you may still need to tell it about the new files/folders. Also, version control tools tend to populate the left side with an historical view of the tree and that should be treated as read-only. Use caution when making changes to the left side. |
| Shortcut Details... |
On Windows, this command will raise the Shortcut Details dialog for the single or pair of shortcuts. |
| Symlink Details... |
On Linux and Mac, this command will raise the Symlink Details dialog for the single or pair of symlinks. |
