Use meld-diff with Sync Settings? #9

Closed maphew closed 2 years ago

Is there a way this extension can be used when going through a Manual Merge with VS Code Settings Sync?

"Meld diff: compare visible documents" reports that both editor panels are the same. What is opened in external merge app for both sides is: c:\Users\matt\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\sync\settings\preview\settings.json .

If it makes a difference, I'm using WinMerge for my merge tool.

No this is not possible yet. A way to diff the two versions is to use the clipboard diff function.

thank you for the workaround
