spaces-only diffs that I don't want

Post by Gorlash »

I'm using Build 7.0.1.20 (64-bit) on Win7 Pro 64-bit.

I have *all* boxes checked under "Ignore white space in lines", but EDP is still flagging as changed, lines that differ only in spaces.
My Detail level is set to "Lines and words".

Is this a bug, or is there something else I need to set in order to ignore lines which differ *only* in spaces ???

Here you go; the file on the right has additional spaces on one line.
Note that it's flagged as a file difference, in spite of my settings.

You need to enable the Tools | Use Ignores option (on by default).

Huh... okay, that was the issue... I wonder how that got disabled??

Actually, I wonder why that's a separate menu item, rather than being a button on the dialog where the ignore selections are??

in any case, problem solved... thanks??

It's a separate menu item and a toolbar button so that you can disable all the ignores with one mouse click.
