  1. Add a Taskbar/Application Icon for ccsa.exe (CodeCompare GUI). Currently a default application icon is shown which makes it hard to distinguish between other tools without custom icons.

  4. I am one of those 50% of developers who does not like how VS 2013 looks. There should be an option in CodeCompare v4 to go back to v3 style, including the toolbar icons. Please add the old icon set when switching back to "Classic" theme.

  5. It would be great to add file type filter option for Explorer context menu.
    Why would I want to compare some random files??? I consider that a bug.

  6. While in Visual Studio, it's hard to see which change the cursor is on.
    Could you change the line color of the box around the currently selected
    change making it easier to spot?

  7. SCMs e.g. Git, Mercurial, svn etc. support annotate/blame. Add annotate comparison (whom and what) over lines/blocks of code.

  8. for delphi source code comparsion when comparing with ignoring white chars, here are bug in comparing compiler directives

    e.g.

    {$DEFINE XYZ} - this is compiler directive

    is not same as

    { $DEFINE XYZ} - this is comment

    ===================

    Comments are ignored by the compiler, except when they function as separators (delimiting adjacent tokens) or compiler directives.
    There are several ways to construct comments:

    { Text between a left brace and a right brace constitutes a comment. }
    (* Text between a left-parenthesis-plus-asterisk and an

    asterisk-plus-right-parenthesis also constitutes a comment. *)

    // Any text between a double-slash and the end of…

  9. Sometimes small changes are hard to spot visually i.e. single char. An option to have a seperate background colour for whole lines/blocks/sections that include changes would help focus my attention to a that block to then find the smaller change.

  11. File copy operations can take a long time. During this process there is no feedback indicating progress or expected wait time for the copy process to complete. For me, a simple progress bar with an indication of how far along the process is would suffice. Currently, clicking anywhere in the application during a long copy process causes Windows to report the application as "not responding", which is not really the case. Please add a progress bar for long running operations.

  15. Add option to close the compare window without checking if I want to save the comparison document. I never do and it interrupts my workflow so an option to turn this off would be great.

  19. Steps to see what I mean:
    1. Open a 2-way file comparison.
    2. Choose File > Compare Current File.
    3. Add some new-lines (or make some other change) to the file in the new editor that opens.
    4. Save the file in that editor.
    5. Return to the original file comparison.
    The changes to the file in the other editor are not shown and if the file is saved from the original comparison, the changes made in the other editor will be lost.

    Real world use case was having a file opened in two comparisons, one with its previous revision,…
