Branch view multi-select passes wrong paths

[prino]

If I open a set of directories with backups of my old hitchhike statistic program sources in branch view, making it easier to compare versions (using WinMerge), selecting to and invoking WinMerge from the context menu results in an error telling me that the left (or right) path is wrong. It seems that XY passes the path of the clicked on file to WinMerge for both of the selected files!

The shell context menu does not support items from different locations.

But here is a cool workaround. Define a portable file association like this and you have a quick way to compare 2 selected files, much quicker than via context menu:

Code: Select all

|"WinMerge two selected files" *;\>"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe" "<item1>" "<item2>"
