Hi Youssef

I have finished install jhbuild and link the .jhbuildrc-custom

when i run jhbuild -m osx/meld.modules build python-withxml2
I got this error

I: unknown keys defined in configuration file: nogtkdoc
jhbuild build: A module called ''python-withxml2'' could not be found.
Usage: jhbuild [ -f config ] command [ options ... ]

I think it would be nice to have the ability to tell meld some 'synonyms",
Sometimes yo have two big paragraphs that differ in a word or simple expression substituted several times. We could select that word and force meld to ignore it or use it as a synonym in the whole document.

Can you support it in this implementation?

When starting Meld from the command line, I get

Couldn't bind the translation domain. Some translations won't work.
'module' object has no attribute 'bind_textdomain_codeset'

At least in my case, for git difftool --dir to work properly, I had to change the cmd in .gitconfig as follows (that is, I had to remove $PWD/ before $REMOTE):

[difftool "meld"]
  trustExitCode = true
  cmd = open -W -a Meld --args \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"

Then, it is possible to do git difftool --dir master. Unfortunately, this breaks the case where --dir is not used, i.e., with this change, git difftool master -- README.md will not work anymore.

A fix (or at least a warning in the documentation that you have in your excellent web site) would be very welcome. Possibly with a wrapper script, if it can't be done otherwise.

meld itself uses optparse and accepts both --output=<filename> and --output <filename>.

The Meld wrapper script only accepts the former. It should accept the latter form as well.

This issue was originally reported to the Git project[1].

Git may work around the issue in a future version[2], but all Git versions going back to v1.7.7 use --output <filename>, so there's still probably a fair amount of users that would benefit from a fix.

Hi, there are some simple and direct instruction like apt install ./meld.deb or an step-by-step sequence of simple and reliable instructions?

The "for UBUNTU" instructions have no git clone instruction, the README is not complete... And the command not work:

sudo python3 setup.py install --prefix=/usr
running install
running build
running build_py
copying meld/conf.py-installed -> build/lib/meld/conf.py
running build_scripts
running build_i18n
intltool-update -p -g meld
unable to execute 'intltool-update': No such file or directory
error: command 'intltool-update' failed with exit status 1

The "apt install" is ugly from 2014 when we have 2017's versions!
But, try to install and update,

1. sudo apt install meld ok, fine and meld is working as 3.14.2.
2. cd sandbox and git clone git clone https://github.com/GNOME/meld.git
3. cd meld and sudo python3 setup.py install --prefix=/usr

The last step produced same expected error,

running install
running build
running build_py
copying meld/conf.py-installed -> build/lib/meld/conf.py
running build_scripts
running build_i18n
intltool-update -p -g meld
unable to execute 'intltool-update': No such file or directory
error: command 'intltool-update' failed with exit status 1

Try also pip pip install meld --upgrade, but not detected that have 2017's new version,
"Requirement already up-to-date: meld in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages"

On the page: https://yousseb.github.io/meld/, there are instructions on what to add to .gitconfig to use meld. There's a minor error. The line:

cmd = open -W -a Meld --args --auto-merge \"$PWD/$LOCAL\" \"$PWD/$BASE\" \"$PWD/$REMOTE\" --output \"$PWD/$MERGED\"

There should be an equals sign for the --output option, that is:

cmd = open -W -a Meld --args --auto-merge \"$PWD/$LOCAL\" \"$PWD/$BASE\" \"$PWD/$REMOTE\" --output=\"$PWD/$MERGED\"

Version osx-6
When I start it from the command line I get

/Applications/Meld.app/Contents/Resources/meld:180: GtkWarning: dlopen(/Applications/Meld.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libclearlooks.so, 1): Library not loaded: /Users/yousseb/gtk/inst/lib/libgtk-quartz-2.0.0.dylib

I have that library installed, just not on that path of course.

Thank you so much for this tool!

Had some problem with your instructions though: So I just

brew cask install meld

added:

[diff]
  tool = meld
[difftool "meld"]
  trustExitCode = true
  cmd = open -W -a Meld --args \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"

and

git difftool --dir-diff master
then I get nothing in the right hand side:

Just taking away $PWD makes it work as excpected. I'm curious though as to why you added that working dir?

Using Meld 3.16.0 on MacOS 10.10.5 and modifying the .gitconfig as suggested in Issue #21, I can now diff! Thanks!

However, I cannot save. When I run 'git difftool -d' both the left (repo) and right (local) are loaded from the temporary files in /var/... When I save the local side, it tries to save in the temporary location.

When I run Meld from Finder it works fine, but when I run it from the command line:

$ /Applications/Programming/Meld.app/Contents/Resources/meld
env: python2: No such file or directory

Do I need to install Python 2? Consider updating the documentation to say so. Thanks.

This is on macOS 10.12.4

According to this comment here
http://blog.wuwon.id.au/2010/09/painless-merge-conflict-resolution-in.html

Meld has hidden 3-way merge feature activated by passing the 4th parameter: 
[merge] tool = mymeld 
conflictstyle = diff3 
[mergetool "mymeld"] cmd = meld $LOCAL $BASE $REMOTE $MERGED 

You can use $MERGED state where git was able to merge and use last common base where auto merge was not able to merge.
That way manual merge is much more easier.

Is 4th argument not available under mac only or is it not working on original meld as well?

Hi,

Is there anyway to get home and end keys working? I've tried the normal keys:

Jump to beginning of a line – Command+Left Arrow.
Jump to end of a line – Command+Right Arrow.

And they do not seem to work either.

Thanks.

This is consistently happening for me. Every time I try to select some text inside Meld for Mac, it crashes.
I'm on MacOS 10.12.6 (Sierra), Meld 3.16.0.

Why is the /Users/yousseb/ directory appearing in the output?

Hi there

First - thanks for providing this package of meld for OSX - I use it all the time.

On the new website (https://yousseb.github.io/meld/) you've given details of how to set up meld as a git difftool. Just thought you might want to add details for using it as a merge tool aswell - seeing as it's really good at it!

[mergetool “meld”]
    cmd = open -W -a Meld –args –auto-merge $PWD/$LOCAL $PWD/$BASE $PWD/$REMOTE –output $PWD/$MERGED

Using the homebrew meld, from a subdirectory of a git repo i can type:

meld ./

and meld will load automatically with version control view for that directory. The same for this fork would be great.

Unable to open Meld on macOS High Sierra
Tried to open from Terminal
Gives an error

Often holding the 'alt' key is used to do this.

When running Meld-bin I get this error: Related to #4

I know now I need to run /Meld, but it doesn't sit right with me that this path is hardcoded somewhere so adding a bug for it.

2016-12-03 13:34:11.736 Meld-bin[32274:3611798] Meld Error

I really like Meld - thanks for creating an OSX version. Using Meld 3.15.2 - I have a couple fussy comments about pixels. See the screencast at http://richb-hanover.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/MeldScreenSnapz001.ogg for details.

1. The Close button on the About... box appears to be a pixel too low, so that it gets trimmed off.
2. The text at the top and left edge is a tiny bit too close to the window box. It feels cramped. This is especially so when dragging toward the top-left. The grey highlighting that shows you're at top-left touches the text, as shown later in the video.

Proposed solution: move the text in the left-hand pane a couple pixels down/right to give it a bit more breathing room. Thanks again!

Darcs support was reintroduced in meld 3.15.2 and darcs.py it's present on this repository .. but the dmg does not include it .. under /Applications/Meld.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7/site-packages.zip there is no meld/vs/darcs.py

Hi, minor thing I noticed setting up Meld for OS X:

There's a sample .gitconfig on the github page which is handy, but I'm curious why it uses $PWD/$REMOTE instead of just $REMOTE (and similar in the mergetool section). The former doesn't work for me but the latter does.

Here's the full line that works for me under [difftool "meld"]:
cmd = open -W -a Meld --args \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"

Neither can I do it manually...

sudo ln -s /Applications/Meld.app/Contents/MacOS/Meld /usr/bin/meld
ln: /usr/bin/meld: Operation not permitted
sudo ln -s /Applications/Meld.app/Contents/MacOS/Meld /bin/meld
ln: /bin/meld: Operation not permitted

Using Meld 3.15.2 on OSX 10.10.5. The vertical scroll bars are always displayed, even when the file is short enough to appear entirely in the window. The video at http://richb-hanover.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/MeldScreenSnapz002.ogg shows the problem.

If you make the window short, the scroll bar acts as desired (see 0:15 in the video).

If you make the window tall enough, the scroll bar remains. (0:24) As confirmation, you can't drag the scroll bar to reveal more of the file (0:25-0:26).

Not a catastrophe, and I wonder if this is a Meld problem, not a problem from the OSX port... Thanks again for this great tool!

I've re-installed the app, no luck.
The pre-built binary seems not work on latest 10.13.1

Meld build 3.16.0 r1 (osx-9) + macOS Sierra 10.12.4

I just installed Meld by moving the .App in my /Applications folder.

Now when I run it and try to change the editor font, it seems to always fail and fallback to a non-monospaced font. The result is hard to read. (see attached capture)

If I start Meld from a terminal (cd cd /Applications/Meld.app/Contents/MacOS/; Meld), I can see the following message in the console, when the editor is opened: (meld:7990): Pango-WARNING **: couldn't load font "Courier New Bold Condensed Not-Rotated 14", modified variant/weight/stretch as fallback, expect ugly output.
This not quite right since I chose Courier New Regular from the Preferences Window.

This fails for any font.

Using the default font is working fine.

1st, thanks for the effort in bringing a great linux tool across to the Mac.
OSX has moved on significantly since the last release, and there are various issues that could be resolved. Is this project still alive? Last commit is over a year ago.

Not a huge issue at all, just something I noticed. When running meld --help I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "meld/meldapp.pyc", line 78, in do_command_line
  File "meld/meldapp.pyc", line 336, in parse_args

Another interesting addition would be the ability to recognize the same block repeated several times around the text.
And the ability to detect not only vertical movement of whole blocks of text but also horizontal movement or similar blocks. (like with image comparison software, specifying percentage of similarity).

The latest binary throws a security warning on OS X 10.11.5 (El Capitan).

“Meld” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

It works if you reduce security in Security system preferences to "Allow apps downloaded from" => "Anywhere" but that obviously compromises the rest of the system's signed code security features.

I just installed the latest download 3.16.0 (r1).

It definitely works better than the one I installed last year (which didn't successfully open a window.)

However the default window size is kind of small, and resizing does not work.

Work-around: Maximize does work, so I can get a usefully large window.

I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or a misconfiguration on my part; Google wasn't helpful in resolving the issue.

Release OSX - 3.16.0 (r1) doesn't seem to support comparing a working copy against a mercurial repository. (To be clear, as I'm still somewhat new to distributed version control and thus may have the terminology wrong: I'm trying to compare the files in my working copy against the most recent revision in my local clone of the repository, not against a remote repository.)

If I start the application by opening Meld from the finder and select "version control view," then enter the path to a file, Meld indicates that the file is identical to the VC copy -- despite the fact that hg stat indicates that the file has changed, and hg diff shows (non-whitespace) changes. Same story if I enter the path to a directory which contains the modified file, except I have to explicitly select the directory and hit "Compare" in order to get it to tell me that the trees are identical. I also get the same results if I type Meld path/to/working/copy at the shell (file or directory). I've disabled all file and text filters.

It's entirely possible that Meld just can't find the hg "binary," because I've installed mercurial through MacPorts, so it's in /opt/local/bin/hg, not /usr/bin. I'd expect that starting meld from the bash prompt would pick up my shell's PATH, though, and /opt/local/bin is certainly in PATH. I don't know how to set PATH for instances of Meld started through the Finder, but I can live with only being able to start it from the shell.

As a note, I've also got meld (1.8.6) installed via MacPorts, and that compares against Hg repositories just fine. (I'm actually trying to replace the MacPorts installation of Meld, because it pulls in a huge pile of dependencies that I don't need for anything else.)

Hi,

This is not really and "Issue" but is not a "Pull request" either. I've made a simple system service with Automator (very very simple really) which allows to select two or more files/folders in the Finder and Right click > Services > Diff Selected Items and open Meld with those files. A Keyboard shortcut can be associated with this too (via the system keyboard preferences).

I wonder whether this could get integrated within the app. Apparently the app itself can advertise a System Service by adding stuff ot Info.plist but I am not sure how that applies to pre-made services like that.

Anyhow, I attach the .workflow here, just in case.

Diff Selected Items.workflow.zip

Hi, whenever I click Blank file comparison, it opens a resource file on both tabs. I am attaching the screenshot

I am unable to run Meld from a non-admin account on Mac OS El Capitan. My user account keeps getting a Meld Error when I launch the app from the /Applications folder. If I su to a root user and sudo launch it will work somewhat but not fully. Any ideas to get this running natively in my user account.

Hi yousseb,
Thanks for your great job. And I can enjoy the native meld on macOS, especially for the retina support(its really awesome).

On using the meld on Mac, i just met two issues related to performance:

1. A little bit slow to compare two files: 1500 line each file, 5 lines diff, cost about 1s to finish the comparing.
2. It's not so smooth to scroll up / down the document.

Here is my working environment:
1. Device : Mac book pro

• macOS Sierra 10.12.3
• MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
• 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5
• 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

2. Python 2.7.12
3. Meld 3.16.0

Thanks again for your contribution.

Hello

I installed latest version of Meld from https://yousseb.github.io/meld/

And then I trying to merge, i can't edit in right side (remote file)

macOS Sierra 10.12.5

I have just used apt-get to install the latest available meld version on LinuxMint 18 with Cinnamon desktop.

In the Gui, when I select two files to compare the window just sits there. Nothing happens. So I ran meld from the command line and it gives me some warnings and an error, summarising:

• "bad install"

One thing that also puzzles me is that the apt-get shows the .deb package installing as:

• Unpacking meld (3.14.2-1) ...

While the meld --version and the meld GUI report version as:

• `3.15.1'

Which one is the true one?

To me that example refutes the report of a "bad install". In addition the mismatch of GTK versions sounds suspicious too. Is there an alternatives repository so I can find a later and function version?

Hi, I've noticed that the feature where you hold down the shift button to reverse the direction of the merge being made isn't work. This is problematic because I can't neither reverse or edit the line inline.

Is there a way to fix this?

Just running from the command line throws a bunch of warnings.

I've been using this fork of Meld for OSX for months but I recently had to reinstall it and it's now using GTK3 instead of GTK2 which is causing some graphical issues. Is there any way for me to run this as a GTK2 application instead?

Edit: I found my original dmg which is for Meld 1.8.6 and it's back to gtk2.

I'm using Meld 3.16.0 on OSX 10.12.2 with two screens. Each time I start meld it opens on my laptop screen, rather than my main monitor. I'm using meld as my chosen diff tool for git, so launch it many times everyday and drag it over to my main monitor. It would be awesome if it could remember the last monitor it was on, and ideally the position and size I had it in as well.

Did you notice that Meld 3.15.2 is ~60 MB while the current 3.16.0 is ~195?

Some indication somewhere that the wrapper script exists and how to use it would be very helpful, since people might not find the blog comment that mentions it and the X11-style file navigation is quite painful on a Mac.

at least in China
