ExamDiff Pro v3.4

ExamDiff Pro is a visual tool for file and directory comparison. It has a number of simple and convenient features that many users have been asking for a long time from a comparison program.






---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KEY FEATURES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Compares text files, binary files, and directories.
- Highlights differences down to the level of lines, words or characters.
- Allows editing files within file comparison panes.
- Prints and print previews diff reports.
- Includes full Unicode support.
- Allows to ignore whitespace, case, lines and line parts matching a regular expression, multiple column ranges, programming language comments and more.
- Allows creating directory snapshots for later comparison.
- Performs synchronous and simple word wrapping of long lines.
- Remembers a user-specified number of last compared first and second files or directories.
- There is no need to specify both filenames -- just enter a directory name for one of the files to be compared. EximDiff will attempt to use an entered filename with a previously specified directory name for the second file.
- Automatically detects file or directory changes and prompts the user to re-compare.
- One push re-compare function attempts to leave the viewer"s focus in the same place as before the re-compare.
- Drag and drop support for dropping one or two files or directories into the program"s window (e.g. from Windows Explorer) for comparison.
- Allows file or directory comparison from the directory comparison panes with a simple double-click on one of the files or directories to be compared.
- Allows the copying, renaming, and deleting files or directories from the directory comparison panes via menu, toolbar buttons, or a right button pop up. Any of these operations is followed by automatic re-synchronization of the compared directories. You can also sort directories in the left or the right pane by name, size, type, or last modification time without losing synchronization.
- Easy editing of files. ExamDiff Pro will spawn any editor (configurable by the user) with the file name and caret position options.
- Saves the differences in text (standard UNIX DIFF file for file comparison) or HTML file.
- Easy navigation through the differences via "Next Difference"/"Current Difference"/"Previous Difference" buttons and hot keys or via a list box of all the differences.
- Allows the copying of text from the file comparison panes via drag and drop, a hot key, or a right button pop up.
- Simple "Search" command to search for strings in the comparison panes. It also remembers a user specified number of most recent searches.
- Customizable colors.
- Fully customizable file extension filter. For example, the user can choose only .c and .cpp files or any other files he/she chooses to be displayed. Tooltips which include file or directory properties (when the mouse cursor is placed over the pane title bars), difference number (when the cursor is over the yellow triangle marking the current difference), and etc.
- Adjustable pane splitter with smooth synchronized scrolling.
- Allows easy toggling between horizontal and vertical splitter orientation as well as splitter centering and hiding of panes.
