– Select two (or three) files in Nautilus,
– Open context menu,
– Select compare.
Actual result:
Nothing happens
Expected result:
Open the installed compare editor (meld for instance).
Additional informations:
– Downloading the sources, you could see that since hardy, meld has been added in the recommended package to install with diff-ext, but that is not the default choice (kdiff3 is (found in diff-ext.
– gconf is used for the configuration of the default comparison app, and there is also a GUI in the Development applications menu.
