Hi,
How do you start the diff tools with command line arguments (e.g, the two files or directories you want to compare). I need to use these tools in conjunction with SVN.

Hi,
Starting with Oxygen version 6.1 this is possible.
In the Oxygen installation folder there are 2 executable shells (diffFiles.bat and diffDirs.bat if running on Windows)
You can give one or two command line arguments to each of the shells.
Eg: To start diff between 2 directories
Code: Select all
diffDirs.bat "c:\Program Files" "c:\ant"
Notice that if there are spaces in the path names, the paths need to be surrounded by quotes. Also one argument can be missing in which case the second directory will be chosen manually by the user.
The same goes for the files diff utility as well.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Radu.

Tx.,
However it doesn't work. I looked into the batch file as well and the comment line arguments are also not passed on to the Java Command:
Code: Select all
java -Dcom.oxygenxml.app.descriptor=ro.sync.diff.ui.DiffDirectoriesMainFrameDescriptor -Xmx180m -cp %CP% ro.sync.exml.Oxygen
I tried to put %1 and %2 in the batch file but it also doesn't work.
btw: this is from my Oxygen 6.1 directory.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
I think you are using version 6.1. Please install version 6.1.1, the latest version available on the Download page and you will have the %1 and %2 parameters in the script file:
Code: Select all
java -Xmx180m -Dcom.oxygenxml.app.descriptor=ro.sync.diff.ui.DiffFilesMainFrameDescriptor -cp %CP% ro.sync.exml.Oxygen %1 %2
Best Regards,
Sorin
