Add BeyondCompare support on Linux #114

Closed claremacrae closed 4 years ago

claremacrae commented 4 years ago

BeyondCompare is supported on Linux, so it would be worth adding support for it.

When installed via the link above, for Ubuntu, bcompare is in the PATH, and this just works. So adding support for this should be pretty easy.

Better still would be to call bcomp - as that reuses any existing Beyond Compare session.... https://www.scootersoftware.com/v4help/index.html?calling_bc_from_other_applications.html

This is implemented - once I've finished setting up a Linux VM to test it, I'll close the issue.

This is now tested on Ubuntu, and fixed.

To install Beyond Compare for testing, I followed these instructions:

And ran these commands:

wget https://www.scootersoftware.com/bcompare-4.3.4.24657_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gdebi-core
sudo gdebi bcompare-4.3.4.24657_amd64.deb
