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: Bug: Run in new instance

The latest build of 14.0 Beta contains the requested changes. Please give it a try.

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.

Re: WSL, directory compare, full file comparison

We don't use WSL in house. Is the any way to reproduce it in Windows 10?

Re: EBCDIC is not being displayed correctly

The following have been included in the latest Beta 14.0 build:
  • New: Ability to switch between different code pages to display byte codes in binary comparison
  • Improvement: The width of the address column in binary comparison views is based on file sizes

Re: Bug: Run in new instance

Currently, as you said, the only way to deal with these use cases is to start a new instance externally. We'll look into these scenarios more closely a bit later, and perhaps will make dealing with them easier.

Re: EBCDIC is not being displayed correctly

OK, in light of what was said, here's the plan. We'll delay the input file code page (and default page) implementation to a future version. For this version (14, now in Beta), we'll try and make the following change to binary comparison: instead of the current Binary Options | Character Set, we'll h...

Re: EBCDIC is not being displayed correctly

Sounds good. If we decide to go with this approach, (1) it will be done in the next version (15) and (2) the existing EBCDIC support in binary comparison will go away, for obvious reasons.

Re: EBCDIC is not being displayed correctly

Thanks. We were thinking about these code pages... Here's an idea: why should EBCDIC files treated as second-class citizens and compared as binary files? Or, for that matter, any other non-Unicode (ANSI) code pages? So one potential approach would be to have an option in EDP to define the default co...
