Scm diff with external compare tool

0
Yael K (47●12●30) | asked Mar 08 '17, 3:11 a.m.

Hi!


How can I user external compare tool for comparing changeset specific file?
Command example:
"Scm diff -x 1234 -f 5678"
Where 1234 is changeset id, 
And 5678 is file id within changeset

I tried setting the preference value for external.compare.2way property,
but when executing the command I only get textual comparison.

Thanks!
Yael

I believe this is expected. The comment about the -x, --xcompare parameter is

Opens an external compare tool that is configured in the preferences. This option only applies when the type is file and the tool will only show content differences.
