DiffMerge hangs when saving large file

[jshen]

When comparing different revisions of a large file, if I save my changes on the working copy, DiffMerge hangs there forever. I have to close it forcefully. But all the changes that I made stay there. No data loss. My file is over 7MB. And DiffMerge always hangs when I save this big file.

DiffMerge can be a little sluggish on very large files sometimes, but it shouldn't hang like that.

Which version of DiffMerge do you have?

Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of the 2 files so that I can do a little digging?
If so, send an email to support at sourcegear.com and include a link to this forum thread and
then we can exchange info on how to upload the files. Please put "Attn: Jeff" somewhere in
the message or title.

thanks

This post is from 2009. I have the same behavior. Is there no solution?

It is on my bug list, but no I haven't had opportunity to fix it.
Sorry.
