Hello everyone.
I use meld at work and I need help on how to get out of full screen mode on the latest meld release (3.22.0), installed on windows 11. Is it there any keyboard shortcut to do this? Or could you please tell me where is the config file to delete so that I can reset the application? I tried deleting it in C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local, but nothing changed.

Now I would like compare two folders on P:, using meld for Windows. It correctly compares the folders and shows the differences between them, and also shows the differences in each file, as you would expect from a graphical diff tool.

Hopefully, you're using a version control system like Git. If so, your comparison isn't between two different files but to find differences between the current working file and the one Git knows. Meld understands this, so if you run meld conway.py, where conway.py is known by Git, it'll show you any changes made since the last Git commit:

A caution about meld, I manage a number of CentOS 6 (yeah, we're going to 7 "real soon now") and my users like to use meld, but on a few occasions it's missed some diffs. Unfortunately, I'm usually too swamped to investigate. Perhaps a current version might not have that issue.
But, I still like meld for the nice graphical interface.
There's also tkdiff which comes with the tkcvs package.

Thanks for the article. I recently switched from xxdiff to meld as my git-diff tool. I'm mostly pleased but have been disappointed in how meld labels the files in the title bar and the chooser button above each file's content. No directory information is shown, and one or both files is a cryptically-named temporary, e.g., hVNj6T_foobar, and sometimes collapsed with an ellipsis if too long, even when there's plenty of space. When comparing lots of files between two commits, it's hard to know where I am within the two trees or even what files are being compared. It'd sure be nice if there was a way to show something more informative in the UI. Using --label once or twice on the meld command line helps.

This extension open two files (or folders) in the external tool meld (or any other diff tool you want). It is also possible to compare editor context or text selection with the clipboard or to use it with the git source control.

Important:Meld tool must be available on your system. In a command line the command meld should work.On Windows you maybe have to add the executable folder of meld to your PATH.If this is not possible the command can be changed to an absolute path (see Customize settings).

To prevent deleting of temp files that are used by meld instances on closing visual studio code uncheck the settings entry Temporary files (created for clipboard or unsaved comparison) are deleted if visual studio code is closed before meld.

This will now run meld whenever you do a git diff. You can easily see diffs and apply diffs with it now. If you click the arrow in the blue/green box it will move that chunk of code over. If you diff multiple files, meld will run with each one of the files, so just quit out of meld and it will relaunch with the next file.
