Then you said "It indeed helped", did you mean that the latest build fixed the problem? Yes, I meant that with "ExamDiff.exe" (MD5: 50941A3688254742F5588C708E185461) from "ed34preview.zip" (MD5: 27C8747923C697AD621E1408F6E7D244) I can't reproduce the problem anymore. T...

I'm almost out of ideas. Please try another build at http://www.prestosoft.com/download/ed34preview.zip . If it doesn't help, is it possible that you use some unusual visual theme in your Windows XP? BTW, is it a US edition? And what does it mean if it helps? (It indeed helped.) I use Windows XP Pr...

Still can't reproduce this. Please try the latest build from the same location, http://www.prestosoft.com/download/ed34preview.zip . Some changes made there may help the problem. Same thing. But now I succeeded to see what text flashes in the status bar (I mentioned this flashing in my previous mes...

Actually, running "ExamDiff.exe ExamDiff.exe ExamDiff.exe" produces almost instantaneous results in my testing... Did you try my settings? Probably you used "Auto text/binary", while I have "Treat binary files as text". I have to use this option because otherwise EDP t...

Hello. I see on the main page of EDP the following user testimonial: "A great tool for Registry Compares. Bud Allen". I tried the following command line with EDP v3.4.1.5: ExamDiff.exe ExamDiff.exe ExamDiff.exe On my computer at work with 2 CPU-s of 3 GHz and 512 MB RAM I was waiting till ...

OK, I see your point. But why another option? As we both agree, centering a diff is really making sure that the whole diff is centered -- if possible. If not, we'll do our best and put the first line of the diff to the top + 1 position. I think all users will benefit from such interpretation of &qu...

Hmm... I still can't reproduce this. Still, try the fix that will appear in the next build of 3.4. You can preview it at http://www.prestosoft.com/download/ed34preview.zip Same thing (v3.4.1.5). It seems though that when I click first time, some characters flash in that status line, but something o...

Are you sure about this? I can't reproduce this problem. Perhaps you could provide more detailed steps. Also, sending your options exported to a file might help (you can do it via the forum). Yes. Let's suppose we want to compare "C:\Program Files\ExamDiff Pro\Whatsnew.txt" with itself. I...

The way currently works is as follows: 1. If "Scroll current diff to center" option is enabled, the first line of destination difference (next or previous, depending on what command is used) will be scrolled to the center of the pane. 2. If "Scroll current diff to center" option...

Hello. I compare files, and press <F7> several times. As required, EDP each time shows next difference. This way I reached some difference that takes, say 20 lines (which is ~1/3 of the panel height in my case). I see that according to the centering option EDP positions the difference at the center ...

Hello. After EDP shows file comparison panels (having finished comparing algorithm), I sometimes want to click on the end of some line in order to see how many characters it contains. EDP shows this information (current editing column) in its status bar. But unfortunately it shows this info only whe...

1) I suggest to position the current point at the middle of the screen during navigation using bookmarks - as it is done with navigation using differences. Maybe even give the similar option as it is given for differences ("Scroll current diff to center"). I checked both Textpad and Visua...

Hello. When we navigate using Next/Previous Difference (<F7>/<Shift><F7>), we can see the found difference in the middle of the screen, and this is good. But if we navigate using Next/Previous Bookmark (<F2><Shift><F2>), we get them at unpredictable place: sometimes at the bottom, and sometimes at t...

The latest build of 3.4 Beta now includes these variables: $INPUTFILEPATH Full path of the input file $INPUTFILEDIR Input file directory $INPUTFILENAME Input file name (without directory and extension $INPUTFILEEXT Input file extension $OUTPUTFILE Full path of the input file $INPUTFILEPATH_SHORT Sh...

...I think we can add to the next build of 3.4 Beta. OK. However, in order to preserve backward compatibility, I'd keep $INPUTFILEPATH and add $SECONDINPUTFILEPATH. I'd also add just one new variable in order to keep the GUI minimal. Sorry, may I ask you why adding variables' set that I suggested i...
