  2. Using structural compare you're mostly interested in program outcome. As moved blocks(members) do not change the outcome, not being able to ignore them can add to unnecessary noise that makes comparing multiple files a lot more work.

  3. Keys {} around code with one line is unusefull for comparison.

    Keys {
    } with line breaks is not a valid diference in csharp.

  4. More than two folder and three file comparison; there's already an idea for a three folder comparison, but my idea is that you can have more than three, what if you want to compare four folders? Or what about 10 folders?? As for file comparison, it seems to be limited to 3 for paid customers, what if I want to compare 5 fives all of which have different configurations that I want to add/edit out all at the same time and merge any changes I want into one file?

  5. I like that the escape key can close a file comparison. But sometimes I press it one too many times, and it closes my folder comparison.

    The folder comparison is the root task I am working on and can spend hours doing one compare. It's an annoyance to have to relocate my folders etc.

  6. Immagine that some difference must be maintained (example renamed variable or class) I would like to see an option like Ignore and Ignore All to allow the merging being done leaving the ignored word as they are..

  7. When comparing folders, I would like the option to hide files that are not present in the other panel. This allows me to easily create undo-files to undo changes created in another forder by comparing another branch.

  8. 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.

  9. I am comparing generated web service proxy C# code across server versions. I'd like to be able to disable code attributes compare. Example;

    File A

    [System.Web.Services.WebServiceBindingAttribute(Name="ServiceCatalogBinding", Namespace="http://www.esri.com/schemas/ArcGIS/9.3")]

    File B

    [System.Web.Services.WebServiceBindingAttribute(Name="ServiceCatalogBinding", Namespace="http://www.esri.com/schemas/ArcGIS/10.1")]

    I don't want to see this as being different.
    I don't want to have to manually search and replace in many files.

    I just want to turn that off.
    Granted structurally it makes a difference.
    But I'd like to be able to ignore that easily.

  11. Currently there exists (as far as I know) only one small tool, which provides structural code comparison for Delphi, but it has not nearly as many functions as Code Compare.
    So you would have a unique selling proposition for users of Delphi. Especially in comparison to BeyondCompare, which is delivered with Delphi as a lite version.

  12. 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.

  14. It would be nice to get an idea of the number of differences between two files and have that number update as differences are reduced during the merge process.

  17. Currently CodeMerge.exe /NOPROMPT will exit with a status code of 0 even if automerge failed and conflict markers are present in the output file (>>>>>> theirs ======== base etc). This is really important for scripted scenarios such as Continuous Integration.

  18. Right now Undo operation is scoped in context of currently focused panel

    That does not work at all with "Copy Left" - "Copy Right" feature, because when I use them - it changes not focused panel content, but another one.
    So it's quite hard to undo "Copy Left/Right" operation

  19. On one hand DEVART has got a very powerful tool to control DB access. On the other hand, you have got a tool to compare files. Why not to allow the user to fetch ... his text from a DB (different DBs) and to write the merged information back into one, the other or a third DB.

  20. If I have a block consisting of three lines I would like to be able to only move the changes of one of the lines to the other side. Example:

    block in file one:
    bla
    bla
    bla

    block in file two:
    Bla
    Bla
    Bla

    desired result in file two:
    Bla
    bla
    Bla
