Hi Youssef,
Great thanks for your help. This alias helps a lot, however it only works
if you use absolute paths to the files that you want meld to open.
For instance after defining said alias
$meld `pwd`/file1.py `pwd`/file2.py # works
However this is still not as graceful as one would like. I tried defining a
bash function in .profile instead, but invoking meld this way also does not
produce the intended behaviour.
function meld {
/Applications/Meld.app/Contents/MacOS/Meld $@
}
