Re: Bug: Run in new instance
After your step 4 the session you used was saved in the file comparison mode and with no information about the original directory comparison. Hence in step 7 that session did not know about those directories. On the other hand, you should easily be able to enter/browse to the folders in question.

Re: Support for COBOL
While this is doable, regex parsers can be slow on large files, and generally are considered somewhat obsolete. Tree-sitter-based parsers, on the other hand, are compiled, which makes them a lot faster. The downside is, of course, that one has to white the code for a specific language. EDP uses Crys...

Re: Support for COBOL
It doesn't, it just makes the display of files prettier and easier to navigate.

Re: Support for COBOL
We are talking about the same thing. We'd have to implement the whole COBOL parser (this is how EDP does syntax highlighting) in order to color keywords, detect comments etc.

Re: Support for COBOL
It means files with extensions not defined in Options | Doc Types and Default/Plain Text files.When you say "untyped" files, do you mean those with no extension?

Re: Support for COBOL
When you say "user-defined parsers", do you mean loading Tree-sitter parsers /if/ someone had managed to create one themselves? I mean any kind of a parser library we end up switching to (if and when this is going to happen). I'd have thought the effort involved in allowing users to suppl...

Re: Support for COBOL
Yes, we are well aware of these limitations and are constantly looking for alternatives to the parser engine we use. Tree-sitter is one alternative we are considering. As for user-defined parsers and language detectors, this is something we don't foresee in the immediate future.

Re: Support for COBOL
While we don't plan on implementing COBOL syntax highlighting, you can define a custom document type for COBOL, as described at https://blog.prestosoft.com/2012/09/com ... f-pro.html . Unfortunately, the syntax highlighting library we use does not support COBOL.

Re: WSL, directory compare, full file comparison
Thanks. The structure I tested has multiple folder levels but maybe there is something else that is different.

Re: WSL, directory compare, full file comparison
Thanks for the instructions. The end result is different from yours: no errors comparing two folders from WSL, with full file comparison and plug-ins enabled. This is both in 13 and 14 Beta. There must be something different about either your setup or, less likely, with your EDP options.

Re: F.Y.I.
Thanks for confirming! BTW, we will most likely stop supporting XP with the next version.
