Ability to specify text substitutions to ignore as differences
When doing a comparison between two source files, I want to specify text substitutions to ignore as differences.

Highlight the current block
It would be helpful to highlight the current block (the cursor position). If you have many changes in the file and go through the changes the current position is sometimes hard to identify. It would be great to highlight the current block by using another color than gray for the border.

Indication of difference between files without comparing each one individually
During folder comparison you're shown a list of all files (which ones are new, missing, different, same). If, from this view, I could see an indication of HOW different they are. I would like to quickly, at a glance, see "this file has been slightly altered" or "this file was completely rewritten." Again, the idea being quickly, without individually comparing each file (for large directories, this is quite time consuming).
This could be simply "Number of Lines Changed" or "Percentage of Lines Changed" or a little bar graph in between each differing file. Just a quick, way to get a…

Support "Ignore comments" for all languages

Windows Explorer integration for folder compare
There is a feature for comparing files in the context-menu, but not for comparing folders. Navigating manually is frustrating. WinMerge has this feature and works seamless with folders.

Stacked Current Line View
Add another display that shows the currently selected line from each document above each other. It allows one to quickly see differences in the currently selected line that might ordinarily be difficult to see. You also have to do less horizontal scrolling with long lines this way.

Compare files based on #defines specified from the tool.
I am comparing two branches of code which contain many files. I am interested in comparing code which isn't DEBUG or WIN32 to identify significant changes between the branches. I am currently using coan to preprocess before comparinig but it would be much better to do it all in Code Compare.

Added support for VBScript, WiseScript, PowerShell
More options for these as the default language, or detection of similar structures with indications on the tool bar as to which one was applied. Select these on the fly during an active comparison, or spawn the new results in the restructured format.

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.
