I use KDiff3 (executable kdiff3.exe) in Git Bash as git difftool and I encountered a problem to use it under the Ubuntu subsystem.
The Ubuntu subsystem has already Git installed. So I copied my Git global configuration from Git Bash (changing the path accordingly):
[user] email = ... name = ...[merge] tool = kdiff3[mergetool "kdiff3"] path = "/mnt/c/Program Files/KDiff3/kdiff3.exe"[diff] tool = kdiff3 guitool = kdiff3[difftool "kdiff3"] path = "/mnt/c/Program Files/KDiff3/kdiff3.exe"[core] autocrlf = trueThen I encountered an error:
Opening of these files failed- [filename].[extension] (A)The program window opened correctly, but only the right side file (B) was displayed.
The error is repeatable every time. What can cause this error?
