Compare Plugin - Unable to turn off Synchronize Vertical Scrolling Version 7.6.6 with Compare V2

Hello @pnedev
This version of the plugin works without freezes, unlike “ComparePlus”! -
@pnedev
The old version of ComparePlugin 2.0 still runs faster than ComparePlugin 3.0 -
This version of the plugin works without freezes, unlike “ComparePlus”!
i can still reproduce the freeze you discovered, when comparing
english.xmlwithrussian.xmlusing the new ComparePlugin.dll from above, same as ComparePlus, but maybe a few seconds faster.the freeze happens for me, when reaching about the middle of the progress bar, close to the cancel button.
after the freeze, the progress bar jumps right to the end.does it run fast for you now ?
many thanks.
as i can see this build is calledCompareagain, and notComparePlus.will you make two separately developed projects, or is it just temporary, and everything above 2.0 will be called
ComparePlus?big thanks, your work is very appreciated. 👍
best regards. -
@Meta-Chuh
Here is a comparison ComparePlugin 2.0 ComparePlugin 3.0 and builds the latest version of ComparePlus
The first version of the ComparePlus plugin generally hung for 2 minutes (this project was not preserved)

… Compare Selections. Tell me if it works for you.
Oh, that’s just awesome. I will now be taking the effort to do my compares using this plugin via samba shares, rather than living with the outdated diff tools on the linux box, a lot more often than I used to.
Thank you.

Hello all,
Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it.
will you make two separately developed projects …
No, I just linked here a state of the development before the transition to the new name. It is to ease the manual installation and reduce the possibility for conflicts if one has both ComparePlugin and ComparePlus installed.
Beside that, ComparePlus current development state is not quite stable because of the ongoing changes.This is just a development version but nevertheless it shouldn’t hang.
I’m kind-of confused because you are saying it is faster than ComparePlus (meaning it works) but then you say it hangs.
Does it hang every time you compare the same files?
Could you please try removing the other plugins and keep just the development ComparePlugin (v3 RC) and test again?
I don’t usually test x64 build myself as I don’t have such setup.
Thanks.Just FYI, the development compare (no matter if v3 RC or ComparePlus) is considerably slower than Compare v2 when comparing files with lots of replacement lines because it tries to “intelligently” find the changed lines (which brings more accuracy on the price of slower compare). As I said, the compare is perceived to be slower only in the case there are lots of replacements and lines that “look” similar.
To get an idea, look at the following compare excerpt screenshots (first Compare v2, followed by ComparePlus):As you can see from the images,
StylerandPrefix modesections are with changed order and ComparePlus tries to match the commands IDs as well (not yet perfect but at least better compare results than Compare v2).I’m still in the process of developing the smart change detection and I will try to make a good compromise between accuracy and compare speed.

Seems like image link sharing failed.
How can I do this?
Thanks. -
@pnedev
Removed all plugins except ComparePlugin 3.0, and periodically Notepad ++ hangs.

i think you can not embed google drive images, as they don’t provide a static image url to e.g. ComparePlus.png.
best regards

Plus google drive is simply bad because so many corporations block it; you may not get the best answers if the best answerers can’t see it.

The Compare 3.0 looks like it will work.
The only issue I think is on the Notepad++ Side.
The Selecting the Sections requires some extra work, unless I am missing something.
So now I open Both Files and “Move/Clone Current Document” -> “Move to Other View”
Then on the Left View Do a Find for the
Beginning of what I want to Compare.
Then do the
“Edit” -> “Begin/End Select” – Start SelectionThen Scroll Down to the End of the Section in Question.
“Edit” -> “Begin/End Select”. – End SelectionThen repeat on the Right View Do a Find for the
Beginning of what I want to Compare.
Then do the
“Edit” -> “Begin/End Select” – Start SelectionThen Scroll Down to the End of the Section in Question.
“Edit” -> “Begin/End Select” – End SelectionThen “Plugins” -> “Compare” -> “Compare Selections”
So once in this mode, it works well.
It is just a case of additional steps that have to be accomplished if the Stanza’s Don’t Layout the Same.
Also someone had a question about recomparing when breaking and re-establishing the Sync.
Essentially the first Compare pass would mark up the Text in the Various Colors. Then when moving the two sides Separately, we did not want it to run a compare again, just keep the Color Markup that was alread processed. -
Hello, @pnedev, and All,
Thank you so much for the future comparePlugin
v3.0, with quite a lot of new features ;-)) Still testing it !I’m intrigued by the new option
Highlight Diffs on Character Level! What does this mean ?Good luck in your coding process !
Best Regards,

Thanks for helping with embedding the images.
Removed all plugins except ComparePlugin 3.0, and periodically Notepad ++ hangs.
But it doesn’t crash like before, right?
I’ll look into it, thanks.Yes, unfortunately that’s the case with Compare 3. You need to select manually the sections you are focusing on. Disabling and re-enabling vertical scroll sync in Compare 3 is something that might not be that easy.
Rewriting part of my previous post here to make images directly visible:

Hi @guy038 ,
Thank you.
I’m intrigued by the new option
Highlight Diffs on Character Level! What does this mean ?It shows the differences on character level instead of “word” level. It can help finding the exact character mismatch between two very similar words but it is particularly useful if you compare hex sequences.
Look at the following example of compare results with
Highlight Diffs on Character LevelOFF and ON respectively:

Hi, @pnedev, and All,
Indeed, your pictures are very explicative ;-)) It’s easy to see the benefit of that option, in some cases :
-
With this option
OFF, it supposes that lines5to7are completely different, so that3lines were added in the hex 1.txt file and3lines were deleted in the hex 2.txt file -
With that option
ON, it supposes that lines5to7are rather identical and that only2single characters are different, in each line, between the two files

Hello @pnedev,
In your post, above :
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/43047
The
x86andx64links to the two versions, of your futureComparev3.0plugin, seem obsolete, by now !Did you do it, on purpose ?
Just because I want to get the
x64version, … for my future Windows10 laptop ;-))Good developpment of your new build !
Best Regards,
guy038

Hi @guy038 ,
No, it was not me. The AppVeyor has automatically deleted the binaries because a lot of time had passed (6 months is the builds life span AFAIR).
But you can probably use the latest development version: x64 or x86.Oh, It is now called ComparePlus but I know that you know how to install it ;)
Thank you and
BR,
