Request: Swap currenly open files button

[msejensen]

I would appreciate a swap files button in DiffMerge. Reason for this is that I start a diff using command line arguments from another tool (Perforce). Because of this I cannot control the ordering of the files and 50% of the time I get the files on the wrong side. Using the swap button in the File -> Open File Diff... won't work because it doesn't show the currently open files, and because one of the files doens't really exist, as it's only created temporarily in a temp directory by Perforce.

Hi Beth.
Please add my upvote to this feature or at least being able to swap files when running from command line with two files.
As OP says, the Open File Diff dialog doesn't show current open files. Looks like a bug. (version 4.2.0)
Thanks
Regards

Hi.
Today I discovered the command line option '-shex' which will show the files dialog at the start. Running from command line like this will let us swap/change files:

Code: Select all

path\to\sgdm.exe -shex file1 file2

Hurray!
