@phils thanks for chiming in! I've just tried to advise ediff-setup-windows-multiframe (which is called fromediff-window-setup-function) to make a frame before all the setup, but it seems to be already too late: the new frame is made, but ediff arranges the buffer still in the old frame. :-(

Read all of C-h v ediff-window-setup-function and go from there. (You can answer your own question if you get that working.)

| Sep 10, 2020 at 22:42 | comment | added | halloleo | I would like ediff to use the new frame for its buffer-window arrangements plus I want ediff not to fiddle with the window layout in the old frame. Does this make sense? | |

make-frame just creates a frame displaying the current buffer. Is that what you want? Is the current buffer what you want in the new frame?
