If you ask me, the default EDP picture looks best. But I suppose I'm a little biased

I appreciate you interest in making EDP better, by the way.

Good catch. Will be fixed in the next 3.4 Beta build.

Use temporally unbiased and politically correct terminology. How about this? In the Color settings, "Added items" becomes "Items unique to second file" and somewhere is a user chosen label for the status bar, defaulting to "Added". Perhaps. But this maybe an overkill f...

I don't. I mean the color dominating the background of any item you set a hatch on. If, say for "Identical items", you change the hatch from the default solid to a non-solid hatch, the background of those items becomes almost entirely white, with thin hatch lines drawn on top. You can onl...

The dominant background color is, it seems, a hard-coded white, and not the "Window" color. If by "dominant" you mean the color of "Identical" elements, it's customizable in 3.4. But then in EDP any hatch ends up looking ugly. Could you elaborate? Since we disagree on ...

You're invited to merge added stuff in the "newer" version on the right, into the "older" version on the left. It depends on how you select your first and second directories. Note that I use "first" and "second" instead of "left" and right", si...

I don't see it happening in 3.3 or 3.4 Beta. When I enter \\BOGUS\MyShare in the Compare dialog, I get the following error message on pressing Compare button: --------------------------- ExamDiff Pro --------------------------- File or directory \\BOGUS\MyShare does not exist -----------------------...

Currently the background color/hatch options for the "Added Items" and "Deleted Items" work both on the side where the text actually is, and on the empty filler block inserted in the opposite pane. So the filler appears as a highlighted part of the file in the opposite pane. Tha...

You can do it via the command line interface:

No, this kind of numeric comparison is not currently possible in ExamDiff Pro. The only way to make it work would be to have an application that preprocesses files by rounding numbers, then use it as a plug-in in ExamDiff Pro.

Version 3.4 introduces options to ignore programming language comments and ignore multiple column ranges, support for inline plug-ins, true-color toolbars with large and small icons, and other major additions.
