Hi!

When having changed files in the working copy, especially file types for which there is no compare function, it would be nice to have a "Open version from base" option, to quickly view the "old" and the "new" (the one in WC) version.
I don't find anything similar in the Commit dialog or "Check for modifications" window, neither when I right click such a file in explorer.

Is there any quick way for this? Or only by opening the log of said file end doing it there?

Regards,
David

You could write your own diff script for these file types.
For example the 'dll/exe' diff script could serve as a starting point:
https://svn.osdn.net/svnroot/tortoisesvn/trunk/contrib/diff-scripts/diff-dll.vbs

Instead of calling 'fc.exe' you could call the app that can show these file types. Shouldn't be too difficult to implement.
