I'm not sure of the cause, but that error message means that Meld has decided that at least one of the arguments you've passed is a file, and at least one is a directory, and is refusing to compare them. If you can easily edit the install, I'd suggest printing the paths argument in MeldWindow.append_diff() and see what you're getting through there. Either you're getting a file you don't expect, or somehow "." is resolving as both a file and a folder. (...and just as a final question... have you tried the actual windows installer?) cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list meld-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
