I have configured Beyond Compare 4 as an external tool. And now I see bizarre behavior. It works as expected for the first compare (first tab of the Beyond Compare). But when I'm opening a send tab (starting to compare a send file without closing Beyond Compare instance) it does not work. The followed actions are happening:
- VS creates a temporary file in %temp%\TFSTemp
- New tab of Beyond Compare will be created
- The temporary file will be removed(! why? !)
- Beyond Compare can't compare files and Beyond Compare shows an error:
"Cannot open file 'c:\users.....\Temp\TFSTemp\vctmp49504_39879.csproj'. The system cannot find file specified"
The followed settings
does not solve the problem.
Is it a known bug? Is there any workaround? This behavior makes actually Beyond Compare unusable :(
