  1. Replace the Default git Merge and git Diff Tool with Code Compare in TortoiseGit, for Svn this is already done, so it should be relative simple and straight forward

  5. Make us able to write plugins to support more languages ourselves or at least define custom language highlighting like notepad++.
    Then you don't need to implement every scurrilous language.

  6. VS Code is quickly becoming the best text editor for developers, especially with frequent releases from Microsoft which include new/improved features that equal or eclipse the likes of Sublime Text, Notepad++, etc.

    Equally impressive is the growing library of solid, well-built extensions that are available for VS Code... Except for a truly good diff tool.

    Having used Code Compare both as a stand alone application, and as an add-in for Visual Studio, It is clear that anything like it is sorely lacking for VS Code. Please add a Code Compare add-in for VS Code the same way you've done for…

  8. Allow the ability to take a file or folder comparison and drag them of CC or via shell context open in a new instance of CC.

    I run multiple monitor setups so been able to have to code compares running in each monitor will increase my work flow up to 40%

  10. 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.

  12. It should be possible to save the two paths of a Folder comparison setting in a file. I Need to compare two Folders frequently and find it a bit annoying to have to choose the Folders in the depth of the file System each time.

  13. 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.

  14. 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).

  17. Merged with idea "Detect moved block inside WinForms designer code".
    Neolisk wrote:
    WinForms designer code pieces can be moved around at random, and this is beyond developer's control. It does not add any real difference to the code, so would be nice if CodeCompare could ignore moved blocks in those cases.

  18. 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

  19. 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.

  20. When doing a comparison between two source files, I want to specify text substitutions to ignore as differences.
    I.e. I do some global text replacements in File B but I don't won't those changes shown in the code compare window.
