Since many input files must be selectable, the program has a special open dialog:
</p><div class="screenshot"><div xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="mediaobject"><hr><img src="open_dialog.png"><hr></div></div><p>
The open dialog allows to edit the filenames by hand, selecting a file
via the file-browser ("File...") or allows to choose recent files from
the drop-down lists. If you open the dialog again, then the current names
still remain there. The third input file is not required. If the
entry for "C" remains empty, then only a two file diff analysis will be
done.
</p><p>
You can also select a directory via "Dir...". If for A a directory is specified
then a directory-comparison/merge starts. If A specifies a file but B, C or
the output specify a directory, then <span class="application">KDiff3</span> uses the filename from A in the
specified directories.
</p><p>
If "Merge" is selected, then the "Output"-line becomes editable. But it
is not required to specify the output filename immediately. You can also
postpone this until saving.
</p><p>
The "Configure..."-button opens the options-dialog, so that you can set
the options before running the analysis.
