Thanks, we were able to reproduce this. The fix will be included in the next build. Please let me know if you run into problems with it and one of your scenarios.

I'm actually not seeing this. I compared two INI files with plug-ins enabled, then disabled plug-ins. Changed one file, saved, and no warning came up. Could be something in your options.

We contacted Stefan Kanthak several weeks ago about this but still have no answer. His cURL build has not been updated either. We'll give it some more time.

It's not normal, there are probalby still active threads when even after you close the GUI. Try creating a mindump of the hanging process and sending it to us:

Yes, I know. Still waiting for Stefan Kanthak to update the binaries (and he promised to do it at some point).

No, no hate . And thanks for pursuing it.

Good news! Your persistence paid off: it's a bug. It manifests itself in scenarios your posted but only for the second diff or any diff after that. The fix will appear in the next build.

Yes, it's the same logic for all ignored lines.

I solved the problem using the alternative syntax "--stdin=$INPUTFILEPATH", but why the previous argument didn't work?

Because EDP does not support this syntax, which typically is not an issue since most command line tools dealing with files would accept file path.

Perhaps although I'm pretty sure we already looked into implementing this and, for whatever reason, did not. We'll have another look.

Yes, I see what you mean, and I'm sure I answered this question before. Here's what I get: Blank Lines 1.png So yes, since blank lines are ignored, the diff algorithm doesn't care about them, and they are added to respective spots after comparison. The way it does it is like this: the blank line in ...

Hmm, I get a different result:

If it's the process you described, you could write two scripts, one for .DOC files and the other for .PDF, using, say, sed, and use them as additional plug-ins for these respective file types (Options | Tools | Plug-ins).

No, there's really no way to do it in EDP. If there was a tool that converts linebreaks within sentences to spaces, it could be used as a plug-in in EDP, but I don't know of such tool.

We are going to have a fix for this (XP-only) issue in the next build.
