I just moved to a different company, and took along my old .ini for EDP.
After importing it, I did not get the "options changed directories message" (so it probably still reads this setting, and sets the registry setting "Show options changed message"), but it did not update the view either (so it does not sets the registry setting "Recompare on Options change"?!).
This seems like a small backward incompatibility bug to me?
A workaround is to turn on the "Show options changed message" in the options. Then change some compare option and get the "Always ..." dialog. Then set the "Recompare on Options change"-option in that dialog.
My suggestion is to fix this backward incompatibility, by assuming that no "Show options changed message" implies "Recompare on Options change"?
And you may also want to consider adding the "Recompare on Options change"-option to the Options-menu.
Cheers, Yahoo
keep "Recompare on Options change"

Thanks for the options.
Yes, this is were the backward compatibility was a little bit broken.]This seems like a small backward incompatibility bug to me? A workaround is to turn on the "Show options changed message" in the options. Then change some compare option and get the "Always ..." dialog. Then set the "Recompare on Options change"-option in that dialog.
I doubt that this problem is worth worrying. Also, your assumption is incorrect: the former means that the message will be shown, and the latter -- that when it's not shown, EDPro will recompare the files/directories. You could as well choose not to recompare when you saw the message and selected "Do not show" checkbox.My suggestion is to fix this backward incompatibility, by assuming that no "Show options changed message" implies "Recompare on Options change"?
