Using Meld as merge tool always opens command prompt

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Issue #15 introduced a change that causes a command prompt to appear when using 
Meld as a merge tool (for example from TortoiseHG).  This is undesirable since 
the user isn't directly calling it from the commandline and doesn't need the 
exit code, yet still displays the command prompt.

The fix for this is to add a flag argument to Meld.exe to tell it if the exit 
code is needed and have it use pythonw otherwise.

To avoid differences between platforms, I'm fixing this by introducing a 
separate executable to call python.exe instead of pythonw.exe (meldc.exe), with 
a new registry key pointing to it (HKLM\Software\meld\CommandLineExecutable).
