comparing a file in RTC to a file on the file system
Hello,
Is it possible to do a diff in RTC to a file on the file system. I see that I can do a "Compare with...->Remote File." However, that use case compares the file in question with a file in component identified by a baseline, snapshot, workspace or stream. In other words, it compares a file under CM control to a file within a component under RTC SCM control. Is there a way do essentially: Compare With... -> Browse to file on hardd rive (like c:\temp\myfile.java) I believe the customer gets code drops from contractors/vendors that are outside of their current CM tool. They'd like to dump a new code drop in someplace like C:\new_code_drop\ and then be able to compare it to what they are working on in RTC. I can't find a way to do that. Thanks Andy |

Andy,
There is no way to do this directly. You could load the content from the repository into one project and put the file in question in another and use Compare with>Each Other. Michael AmblerMan wrote: Hello, |
Hi,
What about external tools like Windiff, BeyondCompare, etc...? For example, you have your local repository on your local hard drive (i.e., C:\RTC\Component\file.java). You should be able to use an external tool like Windiff to compare that file with "c:\temp\myfile.java" -Walter Andy, Hello, |
