Add in a regular expression, eg Settings, configure Kompare, Diff,
Options tab and click 'Ignore regexp'. I used ^Version as the regular
expression. Close kompare and execute the following

william at caracal:/tmp$ mkdir dir1 dir2
william at caracal:/tmp$ touch dir1/abc.txt dir2/abc.txt
william at caracal:/tmp$
william at caracal:/tmp$ kompare dir1 dir2 &

A dialog stating "could not parse output" appear making the program
unusable. This is a regression from Ubuntu 8.04.

william at caracal:/tmp$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
Release:	8.10

william at caracal:/tmp$ apt-cache policy kompare
kompare:
  Installed: 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu1.1
  Candidate: 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu1.1
  Version table:
 *** 4:4.1.2-0ubuntu1.1 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Reproducible: Didn't try

Hi,

I can reproduce this on debian/stable (squeeze).

kompare .deb package version 4:4.4.5-1.
help -> about says kompare 4.0.0, kde 4.4.5.

using the same regex pattern on the command line for 'diff -I' works ok.

thanks,
Hamish
