  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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..

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  9. 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.

  12. 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.

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

  15. For instance, moving a { sign on the next line.

    Sometimes the auto-formatting of the IDE makes sweeping changes across a file and I'd like to be able to only see the non-trivial changes highlighted.

  18. 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,…
