Specify Custom Diff Apps Per File Extension?

2009-09-02 Thread BP

Is there a way to get specific apps to launch based on file extension
when doing a compare?  The app itself doesn't have to be a diff app
but I would like it to open both revisions of the file of interest.
For example I'd want MS Word to open 2 revisions when comparing a .doc
file or Adobe Reader to open the 2 revisions of a .pdf file, etc.

Thanks.

This is possible if you write a custom comparison script.

Take a look at the script called "Changes + conversion.py in the Files
section of this group as an example.  That particular script pre-
processes .doc files, but lets everything else through normally.  You
can make something similar to open different file types with different
apps.
