Hi,
And first of all, congratulations to meld developpers. I'm certainly not the
first one to thanks for this very useful but neither the last.
I was looking at the possibility to allow either multiple file 2 way file
comparison OR multiple 3 way file comparison in command line.
For me it was a very useful feature when using meld to compute standard
output of a configuration management list of files for example
Looking at your mailing list archive I saw "[PATCH] Allow specifying > 2
files at command line" on the 5th of April but it wasn't giving the
possibility for 3.
Anyway, it showed me the handling of args wasn't so difficult even for a
"totally non Python developper" like me.
Thanks for that.
So, here's my 1st dirty Python "dev" in meldapp.py (from meld 1.1.4):
