Using Visual Studio comparer tool with VisualHG

Question

I'm using Mercurial with VisualHG extension.

Is there any way to change the KDiff3 code comparer to the Visual Studio Compare and Merge tool?

Answer 1

I use VisualHg2 with VS 2012.

In Visual Studio.

Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> VisualHg

Dialog should show a text field with a label.

"Custom diff tool (leave blank to use Visual Studio diff)"

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

Answer 2

Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> VisualHg

In the text field:

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