I'm using ExamDiff in the Console to create HTML output, and getting

"Could not convert output to UTF-8
Press any key to close this console window..."

Afterwards there's no HTML output File generated.

This seems to happen when the files i'm comparing are identical and i'm using a view filter, which doesn't show identical lines (i.e. the output should be empty).

Is there a chance to generate a HTML output file, which contains no compare content?

Thanks

You are correct, this a bug in version 4.5. This has been fixed in the upcoming version but it's not yet publicly available. To be fare, though, the bug is quite minor since, once you got empty panes in the GUI, saving this result to HTML doesn't have much practical value.

Thanks for your answer.

I'm using ExamDiff from the Console, not out of the GUI - so my only Feedback is the HTML result file.

As a workaround i'm using the ExamDiff.com instead the .exe, which runs over the error - but it's unsure to configure a non-existing HTML result file as a answer for compare files are identical.

So im really looking forward to use the upcoming version.

I see your point. The fix will be available in the first beta of the next version, sometime early next year.
