Hi, I'm a new user of FreeFileSync (FFS). Any users out there with successful integration of FFS with a file diff tool on a mac?
I'm open to invoking a command-line diff but would prefer invoking a GUI diff tool.
Any suggestions or guidance are welcome.
TIA,
FFS and file diff on mac osx

I've updated the manual to include "opendiff" on macOS:

very nice.
btw, for MC OSX there is no Menu → Tools → Options → Customize option. Must add the macros to Menu -> FreeFileSync -> preferences. This was not clear to me since the user guide showed Menu -> Tools -> Options. Maybe you can update for other users?

Hi,
Using the same method above of including "opendiff" to the context menu, I tried to add "diffmerge" but it does not open the files?
Here are my command-lines:
opendiff "%local_path%" "%local_path2%"
diffmerge "% local_path%" "% local_path%"
From a terminal the following works perfectly:
diffmerge <full file1 name> <full file2 name>
Will you please advise or help debug?
Thank-you,
