Combined HTML Diff Report

hi all,

I'm comparing directories and I would like the HTML Diff Report do include the differences between the two directories (Newer/Older) AND the textual differences of the files.

any hints?

There's currently no functionality to support what you need. The only way to output both directory comparison results and file diffs is to use command line with /f option and save results to a file (using /o option). The file, however, will be in diff format, not HTML. I don't think formatting dir and file diffs together nicely in HTML is possible anyway.

why not!

the file names in the directory diff could be links to the separate diff files. you just need a naming convention for them.

I will add a vote for this feature...

I meant that _combining_ dir and file reports in one HTM file is not possible. Having links is a different story -- I'll add the following feature to the wish list:

"Create directory comparison HTML diff report with links to file comparison HTML diff reports"
