Hi, I am using the commandline (Examdiff.com) and have written a script to process several files and compare them. We have a serious problem, that the focus is stolen from the Examdiff.com process. I always repositions the mouse in the center of the screen. If my script runs for several minutes, the...

Hi, we have a "generic" session file which we feed via Windows Envrionment Variables,e.g. %DEVICE% to compare different sets of files and directoires. We can specify File1 and File2, using a EnvironmentVariable as shown below. Setting this %DEVICE% env variable to A, B etc. enables us to c...

hm, but the current keys always have to be processed (cut of) etc. and are not very easy to remember (or to search in the first place) What would be wrong with a key like HKCU\\Software\\PrestoSoft\\ExamDiff Pro\\ExePath ? (and there the path to the EDP.exe) I think this would be a really easy to im...

cool, could you make --left_display_name: and --right_display_name: official ? They are really usefull and most other diff tools support them also (official ;-), e.g. see http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/nightly/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-settings.html I would like to have ExamDiff with the same support as ...

Hi, I am writing a small wrapper to invoke examdiff from pvcs version manager as diff tool. Now I could really need a option to set the title for the right and left file pane. This would make it much clearer which file is dispayed. e.g. pvcs vm puts the files to diff into the /temp directory under n...

Hi, I would like to get the installation path of examdiff.exe via the registry. However at the moment, the path is not explicitly mentioned. I could use HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PrestoSoft\ExamDiff Pro\Settings\Horz HTML Template and then cut of but I could perfer something like: HKCU\\Software\\P...

great ! I did not see the edit dialog until now. Really usefull.

thanks for your help.

I tried to setup a ingore pattern for CVS version files on the server which end with ,v (",v")
however the following pattern seem not to match it. I read in the docu that / should be used to mask out , but unfortunately *.*/,v does not work

thanks,

When editing e.g. exclude Filters for directories you sometimes have make some trials to get the desired result. (at least I have to do this ;-). The drawback is that all trials get added to the drop down list and can not be removed easily. Now I can remove them via the registry of course and cleanu...

it is reproduceable with 4.0 and I sent you a testcase via gmail.

thanks,
Bernhard.

The problem is as follows: I compare recursively two directories on the commandline. They contain both txt and binary files, I do not know the extensions of any binary in advance. The aim is to generate a html diff report for each file (except binaries). Now to solve this problem I first do a examdi...

The same option controls both GUI and command line output: Options | Misc | Messages | "Message about different binary files". When it's checked, the following output happens: but not when comparing directories. when comparing with your approach have to know in _advance_ if its binary or ...

I'm not sure what you mean by "result in a binary diff and abort". I would like to detect if it is a binary comparison and then cancel this or just report as "binary files differ". Thats all. On the GUI this is working (a separate dialog comes up and i can cancel). On the comman...

Hi,
when i run examdiff.com on binary files with /o /html it crashes on binary files (result set is too large)
how can I avoid to compare binary files ? I do NOT know the file extensions in advance in general.

thanks,
Bernhard.

Hi there, I want to exclude binary files from a comparison (or from the comparison result) I there a command line option to exclude binary files fomr a comparison or comparison result ? Also second question: on the GUI I get a notification when comparing binaries. Is there a commandline option to de...
