Open-Dialog

- Since many input files must be selectable, the program has a special open dialog: -

- The open dialog allows to edit the filenames by hand, selecting a file - via the file-browser ("File...") or allows to choose recent files from - the drop-down lists. If you open the dialog again, then the current names - still remain there. The third input file is not required. If the - entry for "C" remains empty, then only a two file diff analysis will be - done. -

- You can also select a directory via "Dir...". If for A a directory is specified - then a directory-comparison/merge starts. If A specifies a file but B, C or - the output specify a directory, then KDiff3 uses the filename from A in the - specified directories. -

- If "Merge" is selected, then the "Output"-line becomes editable. But it - is not required to specify the output filename immediately. You can also - postpone this until saving. -

- The "Configure..."-button opens the options-dialog, so that you can set - the options before running the analysis. -
