My office is transitioning to git, and I am trying to use BC4 as my git diff & merge tool. I have configured git as described in the support pages (see config excerpt below):
C:\Git work\4.08.X_ref>git config -l
diff.tool=bc
difftool.bc.path=C:/Program Files/Beyond Compare 4/bcomp.exe
merge.tool=bc
mergetool.bc.path=C:/Program Files/Beyond Compare 4/bcomp.exe
When I run "git -difftool -d <commit 1> <commit 2>", a new tab opens in BC4, with "Error opening file" in both folder path boxes, and I get a "Folder Not Available" popup dialog showing a path (for example, "C:\users\<name>\AppData\Local\Temp\git-difftool.a06636\left"). This folder does not exist, although if I have the temp directory open in Windows Explorer while running "git difftool", a folder appears to be created and then destroyed almost immediately. This appears to be a timing issue of some sort -- I sometimes get a right folder in BC4, but never both a right and left.
