XML Diff
Create an XML Diff option that compares 2 xml files at the structure level, rather than the text level. This would allow for diff xml files where the attributes have been reordered.

Add a real support of Perforce Client
Perforce is a major source control solution, but using Code compare with it is difficult. I had to create a proxy because of the archaic command line set up. The 3way merge also expose tags in the result file that should be interpret internally and removed at the opening.

Save window position on exit
We have two monitors, when we open Code Compare on the right monitor the next time I open it opens on the left one. This is very annoying.

Make the base pane read-only
When comparing a file against its base in version control, it makes sense for the base pane to be read-only. This way it makes it obvious which file is editable. Same with merging - the mine and theirs should be read-only and only the result file should be editable.

Manually re-align compare points
Sometimes even the best automatic diff tool will match against the wrong lines. Some other diff programs offer a way to manually re-align these lines. It would be good if Code Compare introduced this feature too.

Compare window should be open in new window.
Today I integrated this tool with the VS2010. But before Check-in if compare files then compare window should open in new window. Else its not possible to see actual comparison.
