Created attachment 123595 [details] Force Quit screenshot SUMMARY Programmhangs and will not proceed. I get a please quit or wait. Waiting does not work. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Pick a directory A 2. Pick a directory B 3. Start process OBSERVED RESULT Kangs up (kdiff3 not responding) EXPECTED RESULT To process the request. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Using Gnome environment (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: 5.12.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION One of my directories is on a NFS share the other is not. I tried several times and it worked on a small job but not a larger one.
The latest 1.8 branch and master contains a fix which may help with this. It addresses an issue where file descriptors were left open. This could lead to hangs which would be more pronounced with large jobs. master contains additional optimization that cann't be back-ported to 1.8.x due to the extent of the changes needed. Specifically it will now only loop through the file data once instead of making four complete passes on load. That's before even getting to the diff comparison.
Thanks Michael I will try to update to the 1.8 branch. I am still using F30 so I am not sure right now. Robert
What is the latest version of 1.8 is the latest? I am using 1.8.1 and I only use the ones that are consistent with the F30 updates.

I plan on releasing 1.8.2 shortly and would like to have this resolved.
It looks like F30 may not be updating their kdiff3 package however new Fedora versions are. Closing for now as this is likely a result of the file closing bug fixed in 1.8.2.
