I have the TortoiseSVN->Settings->Diff Viewer -> Merge Tool set to:
External with

D:\Program Files\KDiff3\bin\kdiff3.exe %base %mine %theirs -o %merged --L1 Base --L2 Mine --L3 Theirs


I am using KDIFF3 version 1.11.0 (64 bit).

My operating system is Windows 10 Enterprise version 22H2 OS build 19045.4529.

Steps to reproduce.

1. Select a working copy of a file.

2. Open TortoiseSVN context menu and select Show Log.

3. On show log, select two revisions of a file.  Right click and select compare revisions on the pop up context menu.

An error dialog pops up with a title of File open error - KDIFF3 and a message in the pop up of:

Opening of these files failed:

- Mine

Opening c:/users/.../AppData/Local/Temp/MainWindow.xaml.cs-rev75974.svn003.tmp failed.  Unknown error.


I can downgrade TortoiseSVN from version 1.14.7 to 1.14.6.  I can perform the same operation, and KDIFF3 opens.  The differences are displayed in KDIFF3.

I tried the latest nightly build of 1.14.99 2024/06/21 21:48:08.  This fails just like 1.14.7.

Can you please fix this bug?

Scot

It must have been something with the installation. I uninstalled and did a clean installation. Version 1.14.7 works fine now. Sorry about the previous email.

Okay. It works for some files and fails for others. I don't know why.

It fails on the same files with the default merge tool in tortoise svn

Is there a common pattern with the files that are failing? File type, content etc.?

Without a way to reproduce it is quite difficult to figure out the root cause.

Kind regards,
Daniel

I am not sure how to answer that question. The file is a C# file. The dialog that pops up is 


I have tried different versions of the file always see the same problem.  It looks like the files are in that directory.

I tried the files in that directory with KDIFF3. It failed. I am beginning to think this is not a problem with TortoiseSVN but some other issue.
