5.0.0.9 - Removing the ending period: ExamDiff Pro Message Could not open file 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\default' to read.: Permission denied. With the period the file is correctly ignored. Speaking of periods, did you note the pleonastic one before the colon in many messages (like the one above)?...

Is it easily reproducible? Yes, it is, but it disappeared in beta 9 beside making much, much faster the message "files are different". Very good. EDP often uses different (custom) message boxes in cases where additional options are (could be) presented. I supposed that. Could you implemen...

Are you sure you are using the latest build? Well, now I'm sure I'm not using the latest build. As I wrote, I'm using the 5.0.0.6 that I supposed was the latest. I didn't note that you published other versions, sorry. "The latest" is a moving target... I'm just downloading the 5.0.0.9. I'...

But the quoted fragment may point to some problem. That's what I was thinking too but, since it appears that there is no "official" way to detect if the copy went ok, you have to resort to heuristics, as is explained in a previous message. Now, we can argue that there are cases like that ...

ExamDiff Pro Could not allocate 494,1 MB for binary buffer: Out of memory.: Not enough space. Do you want to simply determine whether the files are different without using too much memory? Answer: Yes ExamDiff Pro Encountered an improper argument. Pardon? Comparison results Different binary files: ...

Memory failure! (Mine, not my computer's...) The message is not a system message and is not in italian... But it's the very same as before. So much for my memory. :( The message is (verbatim): ExamDiff Pro Message C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\default: Permission denied. Did you note that I solved the...

However, the message should be different. What was it? The very same as before. Please note: that is a system message, not an EDP message... unless you wrote a message in Italian. :) You can click on the arrow button next to the Manage drop-down and select Edit, and you'll be presented with the Fil...

5.0.0.6: nothing new. If I replace ":*\WINDOWS\system32\config\default" with "default" there is no problem except, of course, the filtering of some other interesting files. If I exclude the whole directory (":*\WINDOWS\system32\config\*") everything is ok except, of cou...

it checks a couple of things: it makes sure that the sizes are identical, and that either the destination time is greater or equal to the source time, or, if it's less, it's less by no more than a certain number of seconds (taken from the "Time difference to ignore" option). Ok, this is a...

We are betting on the wrong horse, I fear. Please read. EDP Time difference to ignore: 0 Comparing directories (a directory branch). File A.txt on FAT32: 36.262 KB 02/17/2010 19:46:36 Changed File A.txt on NTFS: 36.256 KB 02/17/2010 21:59:25 Changed Copying file A.txt via EDP from NTFS to FAT32. Cop...

want to have "*\chronology\*" as a path filter: ":*\chronology\*". "*\chronology\*" is a path, exactly like "*\datacoll\*", and indeed there is a stupid here that forgot the ":"! And I looked at it many times! Sorry. Try doing this on the "C:\W...

Since I often compare full drives and this requires a lot of time, I find annoying that each time EDP stops halfway to tell me that usrclass.dat, usrclass.dat.log, ntuser.dat, ntuser.dat.log etc. can not be opened. Of course I can click "ignore all" at the first message box, but I must be ...

I still haven't any clue about that. What I can say now is that both my computers present the same problem. I suppose it can be dependent on the options I use. I didn't change them lately so they are very similar to the ones I already sent you, but if you prefer to refresh them I can send you the la...

If this time I didn't specify the steps is because I simply can't. I'm not able to find any pattern. Sometimes it happens, sometime it doesn't. Sometimes copying a single file, sometimes copying multiple files (but only few of them show the problem)... Sometimes copying files that overlap older vers...

Very often I copy bunches of files from a panel to the other ("Copy to other directory"). Sometimes (relatively often) it happens that the copy is done perfectly but the status of some of the files is not correctly updated in the panes. The files are still marked as different or present in...
