I agree that running ImageMagick's compare by accident is one thing we would want to avoid, but once the problem is diagnosed, it is something the user can easily work around by futzing %PATH%, I think. On the other hand, if the user has bought and installed Araxis, but we incorrectly identify it as unusable, the user has wasted good money and there is no easy recourse as far as I can see in your patch. That is why I wanted to see a reasonable assurance. If we limit the problem space by special casing Windows installation (e.g. check "uname -s" or something), would it make the problem easier to solve? Perhaps it is much more likely that the path the program is installed in can be safely identified with a call to "type --path compare" (bash is the only shell shipped in msysgit, isn't it?), and its output is likely to contain "/Program Files/Araxis/" as a substring, or something? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
