SourceTree and allspice.io diff tool

[Inbrooll - Maria Senyer]

Hello community, 

I hope someone can help me with this problem.

I am using SourceTree latest version (as of 13/01/2025)  v3.4.21 and I have a problem while using a third-party tool that helps me see grpahically the diffs between versions for PCB files in Altium (.SchDoc and .PcbDoc). 

The tool is allspice.io diff tool (https://allspice.io/diff-tool). 

I could install the tool in my Windows11 machine with no problems. 

The configuration for this tool states:

"

Configure for Git Bash

After the install, you can add a text file named .gitattributes with the following line to the top level of any Git directory you want to enable allspice.io diff in:

*.schdoc diff=allspice
*.pcbdoc diff=allspice

After this, you can run Git diff just as you would with text-based files.

"

Now, after implementing this configuration to one of my Git directories, I can perfectly see any *.SchDoc and the diff as promised by allspice in SourceTree.

If I want to see *.PcbDoc files I cannot see them, unless I press the "External Diff" button. 

Why is that ???

My .gitattributes file is:

*.pcbdoc diff=allspice
*.schdoc diff=allspice
*.PcbDoc diff=allspice
*.SchDoc diff=allspice

And my .gitconfig file is:

[user]
email = user@gmail.com
name = User Name

[diff "allspice"]
command = 'C:/Users/MariaSenyer/AppData/Local/Programs/allspice/resources/bin/diff.sh'
[difftool "sourcetree"]
cmd = "'' "

[mergetool "sourcetree"]
cmd = "'' "
trustExitCode = true

I know it has been sometime since you posted this question. Do you still need help?

Hello Tinker Fadoua. 

Yes, I still need help with this. 

I can properly see the .PcbDoc files now but the thing is that sometimes they show the differences and sometimes not. 

Also, when they actually show the differences, they automatically open in a new window.

How to solve this?

Thanks
