Re: Exclude known different words
I don't think you can have a comma-separated list of conditions. You can have one regular expression. So maybe tempTest|tempProd|webTest|webProd that is, a list of four alternative values all of which, if present, will be ignored. Having said that, you said that tempTest|tempProd, webTest|webProd di...

Re: Problem and BUG with comparing two different encoded text files

"The proper analogy for file encoding would be other file metadata, such as file size or timestamp."
I don't see why. File metadata (like its size or timestamp) is information kept outside the file, by the file-system.
Encoding information is inside the file, is it not?

Re: Wrong count
OK, I'll need to install a more uptodate version of EDP to find out whether I'm seeing behaviour that's since been fixed. Last time around I got in a mess, having installed it (an early V9 version) under my admin id, and then found the plugins weren't defined for my day-to-day id. You may recall the...

Re: Wrong count
Showing empty directories in recursive comparison is optional, as you probably know, and it's off by default. The message you suggest would only make sense in non-recursive comparison (there are no non-empty folders in recursive comparison), but then again, EDP does not spend time to calculate empt...

Re: Wrong count
The definition of 'empty' depends on ignores...? Are these are the ignores in the Text Comparison options? None of them are active. Even if they were, how would they affect directory comparisons? Unless... are you saying that if EDP for some reason ignored all of the content of some files in a direc...

Re: Wrong count
It's hard to believe that something as basic as a count would fail.
How on earth does something like this make its way through testing?

Re: Wrong count
"Empty"?
But (in my example) when recursion is not active, EDP reports "Total: 8 directories". Seven of those are empty, but one (Folder 004) has contents.
Why would counting of directories not count all of them, every time?

Re: Wrong count
Surely anyone would expect a different result? How can the total number of directories, when they are all looked at, be less than when only one level are? Perhaps MSpagni could also say what the counts seen by File Explorer are? I'm aware that my current version of EDP is well out of date, so althou...

Re: Please update the following plugins (for next release)
Don't the licence conditions on the Kanthak version mean it's not usable with EDP?

Re: Comparison issue if amount of blanks used for indentation changed
Is it right to say that - in "Lines" mode, the diff engine identifies exactly-equal lines then displays the blocks of lines between the matching lines, and because of the mode, only /displays/ whole lines - in "Lines & words/chars" mode, the diff engine identifies exactly-equ...

Re: New is treated as change, how can i fix that?
OK; I /think/ that makes sense. I made four tiny text files with very small differences and I can see why with those one pair has a change whereas the other pair has an add and a delete. Maybe what really puzzles me is what the OP's picture actually shows? How is it possible to have (in the lefthand...

Re: New is treated as change, how can i fix that?
How does EDP decide that a block is sufficiently different to be flagged as 'changed' but not so different that it contains added lines, then?
