the answer is: f: desktop.ini this exclues all files which are called desktop.ini from the comparison. Exit WinMerge entirely, and re-run it, after placing that DLL. Two notes: For your example, in WinMerges MergePlugins subfolder, copy IgnoreColumns.dll to IgnoreColumns1-720-22.dll (no spaces, and using underline instead of comma). I haven't tested it, but I hope the alternative diff coloration makes it easier to see single-word/space insertions and deletions within a line (which is something I often fail to notice in mainline KDiff3). Aha, let me self-answer this question (so it might benefit a future struggler). If youd still like to get the WinMerge 'IgnoreColumns' plugin working. I stopped following KDiff3 development and decided to pin 1.8.5 on my system, which actually works.Īnother fork of KDiff3 is.
Somebody checked in a bunch of spaces at the end of a line.Unfortunately versions starting at 1.9.0 are drastically buggier than 1.8.5: Ctrl+C being incorrectly enabled and disabled ( ), merge errors (, fixed), drastic slowdown when loading CRLF files (, fixed), recurring assertion errors (didn't personally encounter, but, ), large chunks of Git history producing unusable binaries that corrupt memory or print assertion errors when loading files, etc. Set your style and have the IDE conform the code to it for you. You are using an IDE which doesn’t do code cleanup for you. Seriously, there are diff tools that can’t do this in 2009? I would have never guessed. On Windows systems, if you set Ignore white space in comparison and you are merging. Was your diff tool written in 1990? Because WinMerge has been ignoring whitespace, blank lines and CR vs CRLF for at least that long. Set or clear Ignore white space in comparison. highlighting of changes, and being able to ignore whitespace differences. I love locking, because then I can just set Visual Studio to conform the code to the way I like, and the next guy the same. WinMerge can compare both folders and files, presenting differences in a visual.
Tried and true locking is the best solution when you can easily divide the work between modules. You aren’t writing the freaking Linux kernel!!! You don’t need merging, it just causes all kinds of problems. You are using a merging repository with 10 developers. Didn’t you get the memo that those suck? They eventually trend toward unmaintainable. You are using a language with ASP-style syntax. Sounds to me like you are complaining about the symptoms, not the problem.
