Is there any way to save a patch/diff file in Araxis Merge?


I'm merging some code and would like to save one diff to compare against another diff. (I'm in the dreaded diff-the-diff's scenario). Anyhow, the normal way I would do this would be to save to patch files and compare them to make sure the correct changes were applied.

Is there any way to get Araxis to generate a patch file for a diff I'm currently viewing?


Solution

  • Those little pranksters at Araxis removed the File menu. Took me a few minutes to figure out that the Report button was now hidden in plain sight, in the middle of the top panel.

    For the next wondering soul, a little hint:

    The not-so-hidden report button placement

    This gets you to the Reports dialog with its nice UNIX Diff option.
