Yes. Perfection is expensive. I know, and that's why I've been a loyal paying customer since 2004 (even when I was getting a competitor's product for free from my employer) ... ... ... I just found an old email about ExamDiff from 2002. Bloody hell, I've been using ExamDiff (first free, then pro) f...

I did. I probably just automatically dismissed it (or possibly had it suppressed).

Which raises a question: is it really necessary to lose the undo buffer for something that is essentially a navigation change?

Steps to reproduce: 1. Start EDP with default settings 2. Compare the 2 attached files 3. Go to settings and check "skip resolved differences" 4. Resolve on the differences by clicking on the left arrows 5. Try to navigate to next/previous difference Expected results: 6. Difference navigat...

Steps to reproduce: 1. Start EDP with default settings 2. Compare the 2 attached files 3. Click on the left arrow-button on line 3 to resolve the 1st difference 4. Click on the left arrow-button on line 6 to resolve the 2nd difference 5. Go to settings and check "skip resolved differences"...

Oh well. Thank you regardless.

Is it possible to default to the same (current) comparison mode when that setting is set?

Or alternatively, remembering the files/dirs in the current comparison and filling them in when the user switches to the same mode in the dialog (also when the setting is set)?

They are marked with the ignored line colour whether the setting is on or off. Whereas with the other regex, there is a difference in marking added blocks, depending on the setting. Thus my claim of inconsistent behaviour. Also, please note that line 33 in the left file was matched with different li...

The first two green blocks in the right file are added, and consist only of ignored lines.

Open a new comparison (description fixed)

You are already in Session 2, how can you switch to it again?

By using the mystical power of the typo! (description fixed)

Those are links, not images (images were too large to attach or embed). Please click on them.

And yes, it is about added/deleted blocks, not changed.

And I do want to see ignored lines, because they split the blocks, allowing me to copy only the non-ignored parts.

It almost works! To illustrate the problem: 1. In session #1 compare two files: file-1 and file-2 2. Still in session #1, compare two directories, dir-1 and dir-2 3. Open a new comparison, select session #2, and choose two different files: file-3 and file-4 (edit: fixed) 4. Set the global setting 5....

No, the regexes are doing exactly what I intend them to do, I am just not explaining it very well. Images to the rescue! First set of images, using the setting name='[^']*(icon|signedo|last|mute|photo)[^']*' regex: setting unchecked setting checked Note that the two options produce exactly the same ...

Fair enough. How about the alternative I suggested? Adding a [Keep files] button to the "new comparison" dialog (similar to [empty files]) should address the issue It could either pre-populate the new comparison dialog with the current "first" and "second" file/director...

Or you can use the Options dialog and import your desired options from a previously exported file. Won't it overwrite the options of the current (default) session? That would be a bad thing. Files | Compare As Does not work for me. 1. Open a new comparison without files. 2. Type 11,22,33 into the l...
