No, unfortunately it wouldn't. What I said still stands, no matter how you slice it. Our general approach is not to add features that are not widely requested if it involves making user experience for the majority of users worse.

Yes, this scenario is not handled well.

I'm not enjoying doing this but after giving it some more thought we decided to remove this change. There is no way to handle different scenarios without impacting performance or memory footprint, and neither can be sacrificed in order to add this feature.

Again, rather not.

You can start by using the GUI to compare directories. Once you got the results you like, use the same command line you have but with directories instead of files.

Thanks, we'll look into this.

As you can see, the folder "C:\temp\Mount\Users\Default\" is listed twice because it appears in both text files even though only one of the text files have excess lines (files) in the folder. What I want to do is when creating a difference file, I want to completely ignore what's in the first txt f...

Thank you for your suggestions. We are always looking into ways to improve ExamDiff Pro, and we will take into consideration all of the features mentioned.
