Using the Visual Studio Comparison Tool with VisualHG

Question

I am using Mercurial with the VisualHG extension.

Is there a way to change the KDiff3 code to a Visual Studio comparison and merge tool?

Answer 1

I am using VisualHg2 with VS 2012.

In Visual Studio.

Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> VisualHg

The dialog should display a text box with a label.

"Custom Distinction Tool (leave blank to use the difference in Visual Studio)"

I assume the field shows the KDiff3 path for you, if so, delete it.

Answer 2

Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> VisualHg

In the text box:

"$(ProgramFiles (x86))\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /diff "$(Base)" "$(Mine)"
