The change I found was definitely 3.13.0, so it's definitely possible that you're hitting a different issue. Could you please file a bug with whatever information you have? Specifically, any details of permissions, extended attributes, filesystems, etc. would be good.

Meld doesn't actually build/link against anything; we import whatever pygobject bindings we get from your default Python path, and whatever they have been linked against is the GTK+ version you'll get. I'm not sure what you're trying to do here though. On 3 January 2017 at 08:12, Mark Phillips <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry, another question.

All my files are media (mp4, avi, mkv etc.) files. There isn't.

That sounds interesting, but honestly I think it's beyond the scope of what Meld is designed to do. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
