Re: Please clarify how licensing works??

Okay, thank ye all for your feedbacks, both here and on my previous question about version changes. I've decided to just stay with version 7, which I've been using for many years. There *are* a few changes that I might find useful since V7, and the copy-protection mechanism might not be too obstruct...

Please clarify how licensing works??

If I get the current version, will it actually be tied to specific machines?? Will there be some way I can delete older machines from the list of registered machines, after the fact?? Or would I just be able to send an email saying "I don't have that old machine any more" ??

Re: queries from ancient history

There have been too many changes since version 7.0. The best way to find the major ones is to look at https://www.prestosoft.com/edp_history.asp, and check, say, top 3-4 changes for each version starting from 8.0. Aye, this was the right answer, thank you!! That permitted me to quickly summarize th...

queries from ancient history

Sooo... I've been a contented user of Examdiff Pro for many years now... I used it for the last couple of decades of my professional career, though I'm retired now... anyway, I'm currently using... wait for it... V7.0.1.7 (09/13/14)... I also have my first EDP registration message, for version 3.0 (...

problem with file exclusion

I'm using EDPro 7.0.1.7 I had previous file exclusions, which had been working properly: *.o,.\svn\* We've switched to Git now, so I wanted to also exclude the .git directory, so I changed this to: *.o,.\svn\*,.\.git\* but it still displays all the contents of .git directory... what am I doing wrong?

Re: confusion about ignores

Wow, yeah it was... I've never noticed the end of the groupbox label before, all I ever noted was the text blocks... nevermind.

Re: confusion about ignores

hmmm... okay, that appears to work... It leaves a couple of thoughts in mind, though; 1. Could you add a note on that dialog, about the separator character? (or is it there?? I don't see it...) I was thinking of concatenating my options, but didn't see how to do it, so tried separate entries. 2. Why...

Here they are; it's only a partial list, since the full directory list is over 1800 files!

confusion about ignores

I don't understand what I'm supposed to do here. I want EDP to ignore all *.o, *.u, *.s files in all directories. I have added to ignores: :*\*.s :*\*.o :*\*.u I have both "Use Ignores" and "Use Comparison Filters" checked. But only the first one (*.s) is working, all the *.o and...

Re: spaces-only diffs that I don't want

Huh... okay, that was the issue... I wonder how that got disabled??

Actually, I wonder why that's a separate menu item, rather than being a button on the dialog where the ignore selections are??

in any case, problem solved... thanks??

Re: spaces-only diffs that I don't want

Here you go; the file on the right has additional spaces on one line.
Note that it's flagged as a file difference, in spite of my settings.

spaces-only diffs that I don't want

I'm using Build 7.0.1.20 (64-bit) on Win7 Pro 64-bit. I have *all* boxes checked under "Ignore white space in lines", but EDP is still flagging as changed, lines that differ only in spaces. My Detail level is set to "Lines and words". Is this a bug, or is there something else I n...

trouble excluding .git directory

I have Examdiff Pro V7.0.1.12; I am trying to get it to ignore the .git directory when doing a directory compare. I added both .git and ./.git in Directory Compare Options :: Filters - Exclude, and I enabled Use Comparison Filters... however that directory is still showing up in the compares. How do...
