How to use correctly latexdiff with figures?

Question

I did change a source of some image between new and old version of .tex files, when I run latexdiff it marks such parts like this:

\DIFdelend %DIF > lamp
\DIFaddbegin \begin{figure*}[t]
\DIFaddendFL \begin{center} 

    \subfigure[] {\label{fig:result_lamp_img}\includegraphics[width=0.3\linewidth] {lamp_i\DIFdelbeginFL \DIFdelFL{mg1}\DIFdelendFL \DIFaddbeginFL \DIFaddFL{mg2}\DIFaddendFL .jpg}}
....

How to force latexdiff not to change the source of image files?

Answer 1

Two things that may help:

1. it seems that the original source was \includegraphics[width=0.3\linewidth] {something}, with a space. If it is so, remove the space, it messes up latexdiff's parsing engine.
2. If this is not the cause of your error, I suggest that you double-check the value of the configuration variables FLOATENV and PICTUREENV, and change them in a config file to include includegraphics or picture* if needed. But, unless I am wrong, there should already be some magic in place for includegraphics and picture*.
