SUMMARY GUI is not shown during comparing of folders when Kdiff3 launched from command line. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch kdiff3 to compare folders with a lot of files `kdiff3 qt6.1 qt6.2` OBSERVED RESULT Noting is shown. It looks like kdiff3 is not launched at all. EXPECTED RESULT Dialog with Progress is shown. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 21H1
Not OP nor maintainer, but I cannot reproduce on Version 1.10.0, which seems to have rewritten a lot of the directory diff code. Running `kdiff3 folder1 folder2` shows a folder diff view as expected. Can you verify?
Moving to needs info as the final result window should indeed show. Are you not even seeing this for short files. I ask because kdiff3 has known situation where it fails to show the progress GUI but runs just the same if launched via context menu in linux.
Using https://download.kde.org/stable/kdiff3/kdiff3-1.10.0-windows-cl-64.exe Still seeing this bug. I.e. when launching "kdiff3.exe folder1 folder2" for large folders the progress GUI is not shown at all. And after some minutes the main window appears.
