Apart from the issues raised here by the OP (which I suspect can only readily be fixed by writing a reformatter for the CSV files before they are compared), it looks to me as if the XLS->CSV conversion might be in error - though that might depend on whether the EDP viewer is showing the literal cont...

You could I suppose copy every file from your first directory structure to a 'fromone' work folder, and every one from the second to a 'fromtwo' work folder, and then compare those. But if there's files with the same leafname in different places in either structure, how would you name the apparent d...

In your "empty lines.png" you have highlighted lines 273, 274 in the lefthand view as "different". But the lines above 273 are also different from the corresponding lines in the righthand view. You want 'empty lines' in the righthand view? But if they were there, that would imply...

Is the dot in the username the problem? Does the plugin produce an FTP session log? Leaving aside EDP, what happens if you use something like Filezilla to make a connection? Your problem is described as 'directory does not exist' which, it seems to me, might be because the server is not sending you ...

According to: https://www.xpdfreader.com/download.html there's a set of 'language packs' for Xpdf, and one of them is for Thai. I downloaded it and looked at it, and its instructions seem to say that the files within just need to be placed within specific folders where Xpdf is installed, and a confi...

> Nothing I did could force OneDrive to keep local copies.

Maybe it's not instant? Maybe you'd have to wait until OneDrive had downloaded copies of all the remote files?

You've got "use plugins" selected. Is any directory pre-processing being done?

(I know the pane status says "Plug-in" in grey, but don't know if that means no Plug-in was actually used - Help is not clear on that.)

> I'm not sure that it's file timestamp. I suspect that it's MS Windows API mesasge ... But why would VS not just use standard file services to write a change to disk, and then the OS do whatever it normally does to tell other apps about that? If a message is involved.. is the the OP using any Messa...

I've never used Visual Studio, so know nothing about its configuration options. But it's hard to see how this could happen unless VS is deliberately not updating file date- and time-stamps when it saves a file. Is there any config option that affects that? Or, maybe, it's saving changed files under ...

Hmm. If I enter: http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/ into the URL bar in Firefox, I end up on the newer website - I'd not noticed that. There must be a redirect defined at the foolabs.com/xpdf address to take one there. If however one goes to http://www.foolabs.com then there's no automatic redirect but th...

Thank-you!

A screenshot of such a compare:

Instead of binary compare, which is unlikely to tell you anything meaningful, you might be better simply have a more useful result from the plugin. I'm using v9 of EDP but I assume v7 is similar... If you go to the edp \Plugins folder and look in \Xpdf you'll find the pdftotext.exe that does the con...

If when you launch EDP you're about to set up a compare, I can't see why it would matter that the main window is open behind the pane where you enter filenames etc. If you use explorer integration to select the first file then the second file (by right click on their leafnames in the explorer view) ...

At the moment one can 'save diff file' and get a file which contains eg Different files -> C:\MyProject\One\filter.c *and* C:\MyProject\Two\filter.c Different files -> C:\MyProject\One\main.c *and* C:\MyProject\Two\main.c Different files -> C:\MyProject\One\shortcut.c *and* C:\MyProject\Two\shortcut...
