Ignore Comments: a bug and a few feature request

Hi

I have a small bug and a feature request for the option "Text Comarison Options -> Ignore Comments"

1. i think the following is a bug:
I can create a new "Ignore Comment" entry which has the _same_ name as an already existing entry. Now the problem is: it is not unique anymore.

2. the list is not sorted or better sortable. If i create new entries they are appended at the end. perhaps we could sort this list alphabetically and mark which entries are ExamDiffPro default entries and others which are user defined.

3. I could need a "Copy" button to reuse a already existing "Ignore Comments" entry to reuse it and adapt it to my needs.

thanks and kind regards,
Bernhard.

What version are you using?

ExamDiffPro, the 3.5.1.3 version.
I think it is also in the ExamDiffPro 4.0 beta version

just checked the 4.0.0.14 and the bug/feature is still there.

thanks,
Bernhard.

This is not actually that important: we take care of not allowing the same extension to be used by multiple document types. Still, the fix will be added to the next build of 4.0 Beta.

2. the list is not sorted or better sortable. If i create new entries they are appended at the end. perhaps we could sort this list alphabetically and mark which entries are ExamDiffPro default entries and others which are user defined.

This is intended: we want to keep the system-defined types at the top.

Well, there's not much really to share between types, and the comment regex can be easily copied and pasted. While full copy/paste would be nice, it's unlikely to appear in 4.0.

Maybe you can make visible which entries are system-defined and which are userdefined. that you be really great.

thanks.

We'll try to implement something like this in the next build of 4.0 Beta.
