Using external diff tool in Gitkraken

Question

I have installed Beyond Compare and want to use it as both merge and diff tool inside Gitkraken.

When I select any of the modified files, it still uses the default Gitkraken diff view... I know it does say merge tool in the settings, but there must be a way to specify a diff tool too, right?

This is now a working feature on GitKraken. On the commit details pane, if you right click on a file, it gives the option of opening in the external tool.

And you also have the option under General-settings to set a diff-tool! – Jim Aho Nov 20 '17 at 15:32
