Description Mariusz Libera 2020-04-26 20:49:54 UTC 
SUMMARY
Dolphin has a diff toolbar button available but it works only with kompare. I prefer using Meld, some other people might prefer some other tools. Provide some selection mechanism, or fallback to a list of known comparison tools if kompare is not installed.

Currently I'm using a dolphin with this patch: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/dolphin-meld.patch?h=dolphin-meld

but a more general solution would probably be required.

Seems like a perfect use for KMoreTools, which Dolphin already uses for helping you launch and install alternative disk space monitor apps.
