Directory Synch and External Diff

Post by *delware »

Hello,

Is there a way to have the "Compare left & right" right-click menu option on the Synchronize Directory results be able to execute an EXTERNAL Diff application? I need to be able to merge and copy DIFFs from one side to another while in this view, otherwise I can't rectify problems (a complete file copy is not an option).

Thank you
John D

No, it is not, at the moment. Sorry.

Mal angenommen, du drückst Strg+F, wählst die FTP-Verbindung (mit gespeichertem Passwort), klickst aber nicht auf Verbinden, sondern fällst tot um.

The problem is that some external diff tools modify the files they compare, so synch would have to recompare after the editing. This is especially problematic with packers, where all the offsets can change after a file was modified and re-packed into the archive. That makes it quite complex, otherwise I would have added this option a long time ago.
