Different Compare Tools for binary and text files

Norbert · Post by *Norbert » 2006-12-27, 20:23 UTC

Is there a possibility to use the internal compare tool for binary files and the compare tool defined by the CompareTool variable for text files?

Regards, Norbert

In TC 7 there are two different commands:

- cm_CompareFilesByContent - calls the external compare tool.
- cm_IntCompareFilesByContent - forces the use of internal compare tool.

You should assign these commands for menus or buttons.

Thank you , that's a first step. How I get this command in the "synchronize directory" "right click menu"?

I knew you'd ask something like that

.

Of course this qualifies for a feature request as it seems that you may only call the external compare tool if one is defined.

Not exactly. Ctrl+F3 calls the external tool (if defined), Ctrl+Shift+F3 calls the internal tool.

Thanks.

Well, the (default) main menu says Ctrl+F3 is "sort by name" and that is what Ctrl+F3 does for me ... unless the author himself has reassigned his own shortcuts

But nevertheless both internal cm_* commands work fine, no matter which shortcut you have assigned.

This is in the main TC window. But I was talking about Sync Dirs dialog.
