Re: Ignore large block of text
Perhaps another option would be to write a simple 'plugin' which strips out the blocks of lines you're not interested in. Possibly you'd want the plugin to leave a single line where each such block had been saying "There was a key definition here." or even (if the number of them matters) &...

Re: Support for COBOL
We don't use Guesslang via the plug-in architecture. Guessing is done on the text buffer; whether it was generated by a plug-in is irrelevant. Then there's mapping to EDP doc types, currently only system-defined. I can foresee mapping to a user-defined type but that language has to be supported by ...

Re: Support for COBOL
As for user-defined parsers and language detectors, this is something we don't foresee in the immediate future. When you say "user-defined parsers", do you mean loading Tree-sitter parsers /if/ someone had managed to create one themselves? I'd have thought the effort involved in allowing ...

Re: Support for COBOL
Unfortunately, the syntax highlighting library we use does not support COBOL. It's worse than that: it doesn't support lots of things. One might be inclined to ask why you chose it. And, it looks like defining a parser for it, would be very hard work - suitable perhaps as an academic project or a j...

Re: EBCDIC is not being displayed correctly
Thanks. We were thinking about these code pages... Here's an idea: why should EBCDIC files treated as second-class citizens and compared as binary files? Or, for that matter, any other non-Unicode (ANSI) code pages? So one potential approach would be to have an option in EDP to define the default c...

Re: EBCDIC is not being displayed correctly
... and (2) the existing EBCDIC support in binary comparison will go away, for obvious reasons. It's not obvious to me. EBCDIC files are not all just text - yes those containing programme source (of one sort or another) are, but object code, load modules, snap dumps etc are not. There's still a nee...

Re: Bug: Ignored lines by regex do not work always
I'm unconvinced that the regexes are doing what you want. As far as I can see: setting name='[^']*(icon|signedo|lasts|last_s|mute|photo)[^']*' looks for the literal "setting name='" then zero or more instances of not-single-quote then one of a set of literals then zero of more instances of...

Re: Git integration question
Or, it might be possible to have Defender not examine the location it copies those files to? Yes on personal machines. Unfortunately not possible on work machines that are managed by corporate IT. My corporate IT experience is all as a mainframe systems programmer; where - if there was a corporate ...

Re: Git integration question
While not ideal, it seems to me that introducing a delay between git calling EDP and the comparison starting might help, especially if there was any way to tell when Defender has stopped examining the newly-copied files. So, have git call (say) a batch file that waits for something (maybe just a few...

Re: comparison is triping
the larger file is bigger than one screen; so, no single screenshot will catch the problem... Two things: 1. you should be able to create a test case where the files are somewhat smaller 2. a temporary change to the resolution/scaling of your desktop might enable you to fit a bigger window into one...

Re: Issue when comparing directories

Is there a way to get debug info generated as the command runs, and/or find out how long each part of the process takes?
