No, I can't change the file extension, because this is defined by
language.
At work, we're using visual dataflex, and this language define a file
named Filelist.cfg to configure the data base.
So, I can't change the file extension.
Well, my ideia is the Tortoise could verify if there is a
configuration to use a specific diff program. I don't know the code,
but I think we could define a filename as you define a extension. Just
to use another program instead TortoiseMerge. If the Tortoise check
this list to know the extension is defined in that, just to open that
or this application, maybe you could check if the filename (just the
filename, not the path) is defined. My guess is the tortoise check the
list and if found the extension in this list when you want to see the
diff, tortoise open that program instead TortoiseMerge. Maybe the same
thing could be done, but checking the filename or extension, and not
only the extension. I believe it's possible. Maybe the problem is
interate all list before call the application, but it's not a real
problema. This list is not so extension. In most cases this list up to
10 itens. And the priority should be the filename. If there is a
application defined to a filename, the Tortoise calls this
application. If there is no filename definition, the Tortoise checks
the extension. Or Tortoise uses the TortoiseMerge.
I can't see the problem, even if the extension is very common, since
tortoise check the entiry list. Because Tortoise will call the
application associated with the Filename, or the extension. If there
is no configuration to the filename or extension, just use the
TortoiseMerge.
