If you encounter an error that says “The manual merge for has been canceled”, the fix is to use a batch file to redirect the call to WinMerge to ensure a 0 return code. This problem and workaround was originally found here by a colleague. He tested WinMerge and found that it does correctly return 0. I have modified the original version to include my switches.Ĭreate a batch file with the following content: Regardless of this, this batch workaround seems to work well. # This is a directory/file filter for WinMerge Windows visual diff and merge for files and directories. WinMerge is a Windows tool for visual difference display and merging, for both files and directories. # (it lets through everything not specified)def: include # This filter suppresses various binaries found in Visual C# source treesĭesc: Suppresses various binaries found in Visual C# source trees It is highly useful for determining what has changed between file versions, and then merging those changes. # (Inline comments begin with " #" and extend to the end of the line)į: \.aps$ # VC Binary version of resource file, for quick loadingį: \.pdb$ # VC program database file (debugging symbolic information)į: \.res$ # VC compiled resources file (output of RC )į: \.cache$ # jQuery1520454518222482875_1352953951247į: \.resource$ # Compiled resource file.į: \.xfrm # jQuery15208427655482664704_1386642834837į: \.vspscc$ # Project source control metadataĭ: \\.svn$ # Subversion control directoryĪfter checking out James Manning’s blog post about compare/merge tools (thanks Grant), I have updated the command line arguments. For the most part, it is a merge of the switches in this original post and James’ switches. The /x /e switches give the tool the same behaviour as the TFS tool for using the ESC key and identifying identical files. James’ has include the use of the /ub /dl /dr switches to avoid MRU persistence and adds version labels to the left and right sides. I have also added /wl so that the left (server) side file is read-only.
