3-way compare is not supported in WinMerge2011, and I have no plans to add it.
I see that you are on both WinMerge and WinMerge2011 repos and projects.
Could I ask you to list a quick rundown of the differences? I have been using 2011 for quite a while. But I'd have to use Kdiff for 3way until I just noticed WinMerge does it too. What other notable differences are there? Have no idea which one I should/want to be using! lol
Ok let's start a list of differences as they come to mind:
2011
2011:
Shouldn't this stuff going to some MD (readme.md or so) file in the repository?
Are the comparison algorithms identical between WinMerge and WinMerge 2011?
IIRC, when I had trouble comparing some files with WinMerge, WinMerge 2011 would come to the rescue.
WinMerge 2011 uses a less old version of Diffutils (v3.6).
Thanks. Do you know the reason why WinMerge still uses an more old version?
I don't know, but one possible reason is to avoid GPLv3.
@datadiode If you haven't already read it, you may be interested in reading and watching https://github.com/WinMerge/winmerge/issues/928, as I referenced our comments in this issue.
Is it possible to Compare 3 files or folders with WinMerge2011 or is that only possible in the Mainline build of WinMerge?
If it is possible how?
If not would you consider adding it?
