Maintenance release 3.2c of ExamDiff Pro is now available. You can download it at http://www.prestosoft.com/download/ed32c.zip . Here's what's new in 3.2c: - Windows Explorer (Shell) integration - Resolving Windows shortcus - Fix for TAB character detection in Print/Print Preview - Fix for occasiona...

Currently you can't. This falls under "Patch (.exe) generator" feature request on the wish list at http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_suggestions -- if you want to do it within EDPro. Otherwise, you could create a diff file, then use GNU Patch utility, or any other similar tool.

I understand your need but implementing your suggestion will not solve the whole "Compare zip files as folders" problem. I think that it's more likely that the whole feature will be implemented (yes, by extracting files to a temp directory) rather than getting CRCs of archived files (which...

The only way to output both directory comparison results and file diffs is to use command line with /f option and save results to a file (using /o option). There's currently feature request "Create directory comparison HTML diff report with links to file comparison HTML diff reports" in th...

Check-out refresh problem has been fixed in the latest build of 2.3 Beta on the web site.

If you indeed have files in directories you are trying to compare, the most common reason for not seeing the files is include/exclude filters in Options | Dir Comparison. To make sure, reset your options to default using "Reset to Default" button on the Options dialog (which will make Incl...

There's already an option "Leading white space in lines" under Options | Compare | Ignore that takes care of this, so you really don't need to use a regex.

Often files contain line numbers that have to be ignored during comparison. For example, a file may have lines like these: 01 BEGIN PGM 02 LX0 Y0 Z100 03 M3 while what needs to compared is: BEGIN PGM LX0 Y0 Z100 M3 ExamDiff Pro allows to ignore such numbers: go to Options | Compare | "Ignore pa...

Version 3.2 allows to set up file and path filters to include/exclude files in directory comparison. If you want to exclude a file (or a subdirectory in non-recursive comparison), and you know its exact name, you don't have to use wildcards. So if you want to exclude file "abc.txt", you ca...

If understood you correctly, this feature already exists in ExamDiff Pro. It's called "Sessions", and it allows to not only persist pair of compared files/directories, but also specify different options for each pair. To enable, check "Show sessions" checkbox on the Compare dialog.

This feature is already on the ExamDiff Pro wish list at http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_suggestions ("File and directory synchronization. Allow user to specify what blocks to copy (Added, Deleted, etc.). Allow to select part of file (for file comparison) or set of files/directories (...

I think it's a good idea. I'll add the following suggestion to ExamDiff Pro wish list at http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_suggestions :

"Ability to ignore text fragments selected in file comparison panes"
