If you do Edit->Preferences and set the "External diff tool" thing to tkdiff, then you can right-click on a file name in the file list (bottom right-hand pane) and select "External diff" and it will launch tkdiff to show you the diffs for that file. What is it you like about tkdiff? Is it the side-by-side display, or the highlighting of differences within a line, or the merge facility? Paul.
