I just started playing w/ this tool. I can't seem to get it to work. Has anyone had any success?
According to the documentation from the link below, it says:
To diff images from P4Win <http://www.perforce.com/perforce/products/p4win.html> , go to P4Win's Settings->Options->Diff/Merge dialog. Check "allow diff of binary files", hit the Advanced button, and associate SQUID with file extensions corresponding to images.
I did this. I added the following extensions: .tif .gif .bmp. to use the squid.exe tool.
To test the call of squid.exe: I synced to version one of a tif file, did a edit of the file and then right click to diff against the depot which is version 2. Then I get the message in the status pane: ' ===> Client file //docs/trunk/print/enu/wix_install/art/Sel_feat_enu.tif does not differ from the depot version'.
The 2 files are different sizes so they should be different. I also I checked the command that was executed: 'STATUS: Executing p4 diff -t //docs/trunk/print/enu/wix_install/art/Sel_feat_enu.tif'. Notice, the command is p4 diff -t file instead of calling squid.exe. Shouldn't it call the squid tool?
I did another test. I synced in a directory of the 2 tif files. Then on the command line I called squid.exe to compare the 2 tif files and I get this SQUID error dialog: 'couldn't load images! (Unsupported format or nonexistent files?)'. I used the diff.exe tool to make sure the 2 files are different and sure they are.
So it seems that I can't get squid.exe to show me the difference of 2 image files. Thanks in advance for your help.
Lee.

I'm looking for a program to display the diff of two bitmaps (pictures), and I swear I saw one posted on this list a while ago--it was by the same person who did a cool visual branch/history tool.
(If memory serves--and it hasn't lately but that's another story--it was by someone who had an @perforce.com mailing address, but these were strictly unsupported tools...)
Thanks,
Steve
