I show you how to have empty lines added :
- I compare 2 text files
First file wrote:1
2
3
Second file wrote:1
3
- The first file contains the same firsts and lasts lines than second file
- The first file have lines in the middle not present in the second file; It gives empty lines with no number on the second file panel of the compare tool.
- If I copy (Select and Ctrl-C) the lines from the second panel with the empty (not numbered) lines, then the empty lines are copied like if they were real empty lines.
You are right,Valentino , it looks like the same problem (not found searching "compare" key work).
2SanskritFritz,
If after doing a copy (Ctrl-C), you do a paste (Ctrl-V) in Edit mode in the other file or in an empty file with an editor, you will have 3 lines added, a new empty line between the line named 1 and the line named 3.
Yes, this is not just display problem. I think it should be fixed. And if this bug is fixed, then probably the display problem that I reported here also will be fixed automatically.
Sorry, I don't understand the problem. The lines which keep the left and right panel in sync do not have line numbers in front, and will not be saved when you save the files...

Hm, why not saved? In my case, they are saved.
When I select all lines in right panel, copy them to clipboard, select all lines in left panel, paste, I get this in the left panel:

But if you use the internal save function (comes up when you close the CbC window) then the lines without numbers are not saved.
They ARE saved. In both cases: when I press Save button and when I close CbC window and the press Save. Maybe it happens only on my PC, I don't know.
And what do you mean by "internal save function"? What is external save function then?
And what do you mean by "without line numbers"? After paste I have line numbers - they are just zero. And they are zero both for existing lines and for non-existing.

I meant pressing the Save button or just closing CbC after having edited a file and choose save left/right - as opposed to copying the whole window to clipboard and pasting it into a new file.

Exactly what it says - but of course if you have replaced the ENTIRE text with som new pasted text - there will be no non-existing lines without numbers left.
But isn't this rather a limitation of Window's Clipboard than of TC ?

Besides universal solution (adding corresponding INI setting - e.g. CompareDefaultCopyMode), how about adding two menu items to context menu: "Copy to clipboard" and "Copy to clipboard with missing lines"? I think it would be very convenient and make both parties happy .
Moreover, context menu could even be "smart": if CompareDefaultCopyMode=<Copy to clipboard with missing lines>, then context menu items would be "Copy to clipboard" and "Copy to clipboard without missing lines".
