Using external diff tool in Gitkraken

gitkraken

I have installed Beyond Compare and want to use it as both merge and diff tool inside Gitkraken.

When I select any of the modified files, it still uses the default Gitkraken diff view... I know it does say merge tool in the settings, but there must be a way to specify a diff tool too, right?
