Description xendren 2006-03-31 05:40:51 UTC 
I am unable to export a diff patch of local differences of a CVS controlled source file that I have access to 
on Mac OS X.  I have modified the source file and can view the differences in the viewer.  If I select the file 
and select CVS->Export Diff Patch, I get a dialog asking me to specific the patch file name, but no field to 
actually enter the file name.  Also, the "Export" button is never enabled.  A screenshot will be attached.

This bug was fixed in 5.5 (fix wasn't backported tought)

Only workaround in 5.0 is to create file with extension *.diff or
*.patch (touch ~/my_diff.diff)
and then select it from openFile dialog and overwrite.
