View Full Version : startup option request: show first difference

using visual source safe su-su-su-sucked. but their difference tool had a useful feature that i can't find in BC2.

when starting up a diff of two files, vss would automagically scroll to the first difference. i'm using BC2 as the diff tool for perforce, and i'd like this same behavior. that is, when i launch BC2 from perforce to diff two files, i want BC2 to scroll to the first difference by default. right now, i always have to hit the "next difference" button after BC2 starts up.

any chance this could be added as an option to BC?

thanks

Use the menu items Tools -> Options -> File Viewer and on the resulting Settings window, look for Miscellaneous Settings and Open to first difference.
