Question

As described in the title, I want to config Beyond compare as Perforce merge tool.

reference to the following link (http://www.scootersoftware.com/support.php?zz=kb_vcs), I tried these steps:

1. Choose Preferences from the Edit menu.
2. Switch to the Diff tab.
3. Change the Default Diff Application option to "Other application".
4. Enter the path to BComp.exe in the Location edit.
5. Switch to the Merge tab.
6. Change the Default merge application to "Other application".
7. Enter the path to BComp.exe in the Location edit.
8. In the Arguments edit, enter: %1 %2 %b %r

But it can not work, anyone has successfully configured this?
