OK, I see now what you mean. You are correct, when a file is uploaded (added or checked in), there's no way to set remote file time to match the time of the local file (not via FTP protocol that is). I'll add the following feature to the wish list at http://prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=fvc_suggestions...

> Maybe it is possible to make an options that at checkout time it > set local file's time the same as time in your browser? I don't think it's right. When a file is checked out, FtpVC shows time of the operation (check-out), but the local file time is controlled by the option I mentioned earlier. >...

Here's how it works: 1. When you check out a file, you can choose how the local file's timestamp is set: (a) same as the remote file's timestamp, or (b) time of the check-out. 2. When you check in a file, the local file's timestamp does not change but the remote file's timestamp is set to the time o...

Actually, the behavior is the same for 3.0 and 3.2c. If the last comparison was for files, and you supply only one directory name, Compare dialog will take the second name from the file comparison. The same is true for supplying one file name after running directory comparison. This seems wrong; we'...

I hope you are using the latest version (3.2c). If not, get it at http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_download . If yes, could you send me (privately) a set of 2 zipped folders for which the crash occurs, along with your options exported to file? BTW, I think you meant the following regex: .*l...

Here's one way: use "Ignore lines matching regular expression" with the following regex: //.*|^.{11} Another approach would be to strip all comments using a plug-in (see tutorial at http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_tutorial2 ), then use "Ignore characters before column 12&quo...

The problem is that one of your files does not have linebreak at the end of file. The fix is in the latest build of 3.2c at http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_examdiffpro.

Yes. Use Options | Dir Comparison | "Run new instance of the program when comparing FILES from directory panes".

The results should be the same. Could you privately send me 2 sample files, for which directory and file comparison results differ?

No, unfortunately, while ExamDiff is and will remain free, its source code is closed. You may want to try some other (open-source) diff tools, such as GNU diff.

I just wanted to comment on the promise we made. Release announcements apply only to the announced versions. In your case, the announcement was sent about a 3.2 build as of March 6, 2004. That's why it stated that the build was free for all users who purchased after March 6, 2003 (within 12 month af...

Sure. Spawn a new process, in the simplest form it will look like:

examdiff folder1 folder2

Technically, 3.2 that you got was a beta. Final 3.2 was released on March 18, 2004 (Pacific time). > So I need to live with either a the buggy version or without unicode support :cry: A third option is to purchase the upgrade ;) -- 3.2c have some attractive new features such as Shell integration, CR...

This was a bug in an early build of 3.2. The bug was fixed in the final 3.2. You can get it, or the latest 3.2c, from http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_examdiffpro
