Re: Revert Syntax Colors to previous version?
Each time you try to set one set of values, it changes the other set. You can't set BOTH sets (RGB and HSL) to the exact values you want.
Sorry, David, but I don't understand.
RGB and HSL are just two reference systems in the color space. Another is CMY.
If you specify a point in the color space ...

Re: Revert Syntax Colors to previous version?
Since a long time, I have EDP installed in "C:\Programs\ExamDiff Pro" and all the ugrades went there.
Did you use "Full upgrade"? Simply use "Custom upgrade or new installation".

Re: Ver 16 install
To complete my "mea culpa" I must also say that the "remove previous versions" works perfectly.
Sorry again.

Re: Ver 16 install
Uh-oh... I beg your pardon!
I removed the previous versions, but only on windows 10.
I just though to remove them on XP but, for some unknown reasons, I forgot to effectively do it...
In the installed app list there are still relics of 13, 14 and 15.
EDP is perfect!

Re: Ver 16 install
So, instead, the "problem" is that XP always asks.
Not a real problem.

Re: Ver 16 install
I updated EDP to the latest version.
Once again, XP asked me if I wanted to remove the previous version (16.0.0.7), windows 10 didn't.
If I got it well, the expected behaviour is what XP did, right?
The windows 10 registry, before the update, had this entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft ...

Re: viewtopic.php?p=9369#p9369
I haven't any new data.
My suspicion was that maybe I updated EDP while Win10 was performing a substantial update in the background, but I can't be certain.
We'll see in the future.

Re: BUG: ExamDiff improperly comparing shortcut (.lnk) files causes slowness
I'll need your test sample to debug.
It looks ridiculous, but the recent experience taught. :shock:
You can find it here attached.
Please use OS version along with the bitness, it's hard to follow sometimes.
Sorry, you're right. There are in the wild 32 bits versions that are quite different ...

Silly me!
The log file for Win10 was in the temp dir of the administrator, not in mine as a normal user.

Re: BUG: ExamDiff improperly comparing shortcut (.lnk) files causes slowness
It's supposed to show (and does) show targets for shortcuts and symbolic links:
Like here? :D (N.B. Win 10)

You mean Windows XP, right? If so, targets are only available on Vista and up
Not surprising and expected. :wink:
What does the setup log have?

Re: BUG: ExamDiff improperly comparing shortcut (.lnk) files causes slowness
What is the "target" column supposed to show?
In the directory comparison that column is always empty, including the .lnk files.
N.B. In the 32 bit version the "target" column is not allowed.
