I have the GeanyVC plugin enabled and the "use external diff viewer" option checked, and meld installed locally, but when I go to VC->directory->diff, it shows me the generic output from diff, not meld.
How do I configure GeanyVC to use meld?

If the option is selected GeanyVC should use the first viewer it finds in path (from the list "meld", "kompare", "kdiff3", "diffuse", "tkdiff", "WinMergeU").
You havn't specified that OS you are using, but on Linux systems starting apps from the desktop menu often does not run any shell, so path is not set correctly, so no viewer will be found.

Thanks. It works if I do a diff on a single file, but not for a directory. I guess that's just not implemented yet. However, that's easy enough to launch from the command line.
