Please display filenames (+ paths) being compared or add a parameter tickbox that someone can choose to see this. Hopefully I just missed something and filenames already can be displayed.

Motivation: When looking and the UI seeing the 2 or 3 files comapred it is impossible to know which file is which.

    This should already work. Could you please add more information:
    KDiff3-version, operating system, environment (how is kdiff3 started).

    If KDiff3 is started with alias names as arguments then that strings will be shown instead of real paths.

    If this doesn't seem to fit, please attach a screenshot.

    KDiff3-version: 0.9.97 (64 bit),
    operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate
    environment (how is kdiff3 started): From svn client tortoiseSVN

    Doing a diff in tortoiseSVN I get, see first screenshot, then see second screeanshot. So here its hard to see what path is base or min.

    Maybe its a tortoiseSVN issue.

    Maybe its a tortoiseSVN issue.
    Yes and no.

    First I thought so but then I found this:

    A better integration of TSVN and KDiff3 would be:

    • for diff: $INSTDIR\kdiff3.exe %base %mine --L1 %bname --L2 %yname
    • for merge: $INSTDIR\kdiff3.exe %base %mine %theirs -o %merged --L1 %bname --L2
      %yname --L3 %tname
      <<< Quote-End

    So this seems to be a to-do for me after all.

    But I don't exactly know what %bname and %yname really expands to. You'll have to try yourself.

    How it works: KDiff3 has certain command line arguments for alias names that will be displayed instead of the real filenames. (Options --L1, --L2, --L3, -L or --fname, each followed by an alias string. See: http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/doc/documentation.html#id2488514)

    Best regards,
    Joachim
