Subject: bug#26276: 25.1; diff with DIRED error
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2017 17:52:21 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8737dy8k16.fsf@aol.com> (raw)
Hi,
When using diff with dired I am getting an error:
0. emacs -Q &
1. C-x d RET
2. m (dired-mark)
mark two files, file.txt file.txt~
3. C-p C-p (dired-previous-line)
move to line with file.txt
4. Click Immediate->diff
5. Click Open for file.txt~
I then get the following *Diff* buffer with errors:
diff -u /home/liveuser/file.txt\~ /home/liveuser/file.txt
--- /home/liveuser/file.txt~ 2017-03-15 08:23:58.796074954 -0400

Diff finished. Mon Mar 27 17:14:10 2017
[Aside; Why are the diff files reversed?
Why isn't the diff command:
diff -u /home/liveuser/file.txt /home/liveuser/file.txt\~
Is there any way to get "diff -u file.txt file.txt~",
i.e. the file that is clicked on (step 5 above) is
the second file, not the first in the diff -u command?]
Thanks.
