in windows I am able to use winmerge as the external diff tool for hg using mercurial.ini,etc.
Using some options switch that you can find in web(I think it's a japanese website)Anyway, herefor example:

I also found that it is important to NOT include Beyond Compare in extdiff section so it will use beyondcompare3 from the merge-tools section with diffargs arguments. (I have beyondcompare3 specified in both ui.merge and tortoisehg.vdiff)

If you are having trouble getting your configuration to parse correctly please note that any space for any variable or section name will cause the configuration to parse incorrectly. I kept copying and pasting different configures and continued to get errors. It just ended up that spaces were added before many of the variables and it caused it not to parse.

If you are using TortoiseHg, you can set the merge tool to Beyond Compare by choosing File -> Settings, and then on the TortoiseHg choice, select Visual Diff Tool and Three-way Merge Tool. This setting affects merges which are set through the command line as well.

I am using folder compare mode in Beyond Compare to view files with content differences in batch, but it seems that content differences aren't acquired until you open the file first. I understand the overhead of recursing through an entire folder hierarchy and acquiring differences on every single file, but it seems as though an option would exist to allow me to do that if that's what I really want to do.

To compare file contents of all files, click the Rules toolbar button (referee icon). In the Comparison tab, check Compare contents and select CRC comparison, Binary comparison, or Rules-based comparison. This setting is saved with session settings, so if you load a saved session with it turned on it will compare contents as the session loads.

If you want the same content comparison as double clicking to view file contents, select Rules-based comparison. It uses the list in Tools > File Formats to compare file contents based on file mask. Txt files are compared as text, png as images, etc.

At least in 3.3.10, you can go to the root folder in your comparison, hit CTRL+A to select all, then right-click on the selection and choose =? Compare Contents. After choosing your options from the pop-up dialog window, click OK and Beyond Compare will recurse through all selected folders and force a comparison and then show only files with content differences.

Beyond Compare is a cross-platform proprietary data comparison utility. The program is able to compare files and multiple types of directories, as well as archives.[1] Beyond Compare can be configured as a difftool and mergetool of version control systems, such as git.[2]

In an April 2009 review, Beyond Compare received four out of five rating stars from CNET. The reviewers initially found the user interface to be "a little overwhelming," but they "quickly got the hang of it" after using the program for a while.[3] PC World writer Michael Desmond included the program in a 2005 list of utilities for a "Trouble-Free PC" and praised its "watch list" feature.[4] Beyond Compare also was featured in the March 2005 issue of the Windows IT Pro magazine in the "What's Hot" section.[5]

Scott Mitchell, writing for MSDN Magazine, identified the program's comparison rules as its most powerful feature.[6] The customizable rules control which differences between two files should be flagged as such. A set of predefined rules is included for the comparison of common file types, such as C++ source code, XML, and HTML files.[6]

Remember. Take a look back over the titles of each post in this series. What depth this God has. He is not just our Comforter, not just in Control, but all these things and so much more too. He is beyond compare.

While it may sound more elevated than beyond comparison, data from Google N-grams show beyond compare is actually slightly more common in texts than beyond comparison, which, once far more frequent than its counterpart, has plummeted in the available written record. The success of beyond compare could in part be due to its greater use in poetry and drama, with rare more easily rhymed and the phrase more easier worked into meter.

This is not meant to be a formal definition of beyond compare like most terms we define on Dictionary.com, but is rather an informal word summary that hopefully touches upon the key aspects of the meaning and usage of beyond compare that will help our users expand their word mastery.

Certainly, your 20,000 elk that seasonally migrate in and out of the park are fascinating creatures (those antlers!). But they do not compare to our 1.5 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebras that undertake the Great Migration each year, trekking thousands of miles around our park, braving treacherous crocodile-infested river-crossings and a litany of other predators. Do you even have crocodiles?
