Is there any way to save a patch/diff file in Araxis Merge?

4k Views Asked by At

I'm merging some code and would like to save one diff to compare against another diff. (I'm in the dreaded diff-the-diff's scenario). Anyhow, the normal way I would do this would be to save to patch files and compare them to make sure the correct changes were applied.

Is there any way to get Araxis to generate a patch file for a diff I'm currently viewing?

Those little pranksters at Araxis removed the File menu. Took me a few minutes to figure out that the Report button was now hidden in plain sight, in the middle of the top panel.

For the next wondering soul, a little hint:

The not-so-hidden report button placement

This gets you to the Reports dialog with its nice UNIX Diff option.

Well I think I found it. You have to go through the File menu:

File -> Report

In that dialog there is an option to get a unix diff... viola!
