Yes, I see that it is fixed now. Thanks.

There is a typo on the beta page of the site, which makes impossible to download Arm64 build.
Looking on the page source, we see this:
...edpro160_x64_setup.exe">x64 build</a, the <a href=...
So someone forgot the closing angle bracket, should be this:
...edpro160_x64_setup.exe">x64 build</a ...

You publushed your question in the forum of ExamDiff Pro, but the question wording mentions ExamDiff.
I'll assume that you meant ExamDiff Pro.
In this case, I would try the following:
Menu -> Tools -> Options... -> Text Comparison -> Ignore lines -> Line ranges
And specify there the exact amount of ...

Here are two files:

file1.txt:

111 Line1
111 Line2

file2.txt:

222 Line1
222 Line2

Comparison options:
Ignore column ranges 1-3 (columns are defined as characters).

EDP v12:
Shows no differences as it should be.

EDP v13.0.1.4:
Shows both lines different.
I think this is a bug.

I wanted to try ...

Hello.

I researched some problem in EDP, and for this I decided to try earlier EDP version.
I had EDP v13, and then downloaded and launched "edpro120_64bit_setup.exe".
Installation properly asked me to confirm that I want to downgrade, and after my confirmation it completed successfully.
However ...

If we have enabled option:
Tools->Options...->Misc->Messages->"Some comparison options have changed" message
and then toggle option:
Tools->Options...->Text Comparison->Ignore white spaces in lines->All
then we indeed see the prompt "Some comparison options have changed. Would you like to re ...

In addition, you can use site https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ which is invented to find the answer for exactly such situations.

It is online for me.

I'm not sure that it's file timestamp. I suspect that it's MS Windows API mesasge WS_FILE_SYSTEM_CHANGED (or something like this) which is sent to all running Win32+ applications when something is written to disk (at least, to local disk), regardless of directory entry which holds timestamps.

Then you are lucky, because you get the correct picture at least after you re-compare. In my corporate network, even after recomparing several times, I sometimes still see the old picture, so I have to relaunch the viewing S/W (ExamDiff Pro in our case). This is probably because of some over-caching ...

Could it be that at least one of the compared files (or both) is/are located on network drives?

OK, thanks for considering addition of 3 files comparison.

But maybe it would be worth to mention that adding 3 files comparison will only align EDP with some competitors (from the point of view of this specific feature).
However, N files comparison will put EDP in front of them.
I did not perform ...

Hello.

If I understand correctly, the original post was about just comparing three files, probably without any relation to a merge operation.
If we look on it this way, then:
- Maybe this has been already implemented?
Taking into account that 3-way merge already exists, this seems to be pretty ...

And in addition, this forum is pre-moderated. So even in case of security breach into a regular user account, the potentially malicious post won't be published (and such dilution is actually happening).

Hello.

I would like to be able to toggle option "Ignore Linebreak styles" via customized toolbar.

In my work I often have to compare files that came from Unix and Windows, and one of the main differences is line feed format.
Currently I have to go to Options menu, then to "Text Compare" menu, then ...
