Remember syntax highlighting for certain file types
Code compare should remember when I e.g. use JavaScript syntax highlighting for Typescript files, or Java for Groovy files. So the problem that not all languages are supported isn't too bad.

Support for URI paths
Enable support for comparing files provided the path is URI.
If I want to compare files on web, at first I had to download them manually and then compare them.
The same applies for FTP or other protocols.
If the file is located on local disk, then it would be fine to use "file" scheme.Suppose I want to compare file on web and file on local disk:
- http://www.example.com/bower.json
- file:///C:/temp/bower.json1 vote -
"Create backup" option during file comparisons
In other tools there is an option to create backups when saving files you have manually merged during file comparison.
The settings allow specifying:
- the directory to save the backup files (global directory, original file directory, etc.)
- the file extension used (.bak, ...)
- append timestampi find this helpful when doing standalone file comparisons that are not controlled by source control.

Keep files aligned using virtual line breaks
This is the main feature that I miss compared to Visual Studio's comparison tool. Having these "virtual" line breaks allows to maintain both files aligned and makes it much easier to keep track of differences.
The outlining boxes in Code Compare are nice, but definitely not as efficient.
This is currently what's holding me off on using Code Compare.

Implement "Undo Unchanged Files" feature for TFS for any folder in pending changes.
Implement "Undo Unchanged Files" feature for any folder in pending changes.
For TFS this will be brilliant feature because there is no good tool/extension to do so.
Especially it is useful when baseless merge is performed.
Thanks in advance.31 votes -
Inside Visual Studio; select text/method to compare
Every now and then i want to compare 2 methods, 2 blocks of text, or basically any 2 parts of the same or different files.
I would appreciate a function which lets me right-click a method/class or a selected block of text, and choose "Select left" and "Select right" just as i can compare 2 arbitrary files in the Windows Explorer.
CodeCompare would only compare the selected class/method/block of text; not the entire files.

Remember previous comparisions
Often I have to re-do a comparision between two files, for instance because one of them had been changed in the meantime. It would be great if Code Compare would remember the previous n comparisiona (n being something like 10 or so).

Ability to exclude/include files to comparison depending on their content
I am customizing a large open source project and mark all my updates
with a special marker (like "Added by me").When a new version of the project is released, I need to merge all my
changes from the previous version to the new. If I compare all files, I
see all changes made by the project (which are a lot). I only want to
see changes to files where I have made modifications and added my "Added by me" marker.1 vote -
Add a Taskbar/Application Icon for CodeCompare GUI.
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.

change making it easier to spot?1 vote -

CodeCompare v4 - add an option to use v3's style
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.

Differ compiler directive from comment in Delphi source code
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 anasterisk-plus-right-parenthesis also constitutes a comment. *)
// Any text between a double-slash and the end of…
