      This version of the plugin works without freezes, unlike “ComparePlus”!

      i can still reproduce the freeze you discovered, when comparing english.xml with russian.xml using 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 ?

      @pnedev

      many thanks.
      as i can see this build is called Compare again, and not ComparePlus.

      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.

        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 I will now be taking the effort to do my compares using this plugin via samba shares, rather than living with the outdated diff tools on the linux box, a lot more often than I used to.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.

              @Meta-Chuh ,

              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.

              @andrecool-68 ,

              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):

              Compare v2

              ComparePlus

              As you can see from the images, Styler and Prefix mode sections 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.

              BR

                Seems like image link sharing failed.

                How can I do this?
                Thanks.

                  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 Selection

                        Then Scroll Down to the End of the Section in Question.
                        “Edit” -> “Begin/End Select”. – End Selection

                        Then 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 Selection

                        Then Scroll Down to the End of the Section in Question.
                        “Edit” -> “Begin/End Select” – End Selection

                        Then “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.

                            @andrecool-68 ,

                            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.

                            @Jeff-Miller ,

                            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:


                            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):

                            Compare v2

                            ComparePlus

                            As you can see from the images, Styler and Prefix mode sections 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.

                                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 Level OFF and ON respectively:

                                BR

                                  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 lines 5 to 7 are completely different, so that 3 lines were added in the hex 1.txt file and 3 lines were deleted in the hex 2.txt file

                                  • With that option ON, it supposes that lines 5 to 7 are rather identical and that only 2 single characters are different, in each line, between the two files

                                  Regards,

                                  guy038

                                    Hello @pnedev,

                                    In your post, above :

                                    https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/43047

                                    The x86 and x64 links to the two versions, of your future Comparev3.0 plugin, seem obsolete, by now !

                                    Did you do it, on purpose ?

                                    Just because I want to get the x64 version, … for my future Windows10 laptop ;-))

                                    Good developpment of your new build !

                                    Best Regards,

                                      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,

                                          Hello, @pnedev and All,

                                          I’ve just downloaded your two versions and installed the x86 one ( for now !) Waoooouh ! Really promising ;-))

                                          BTW, I succeeded to find out the correct link, on GitHub, to your last Build 488 :

                                          https://ci.appveyor.com/project/pnedev/compare-plugin

                                          • Then, click, either, on :

                                            • Environment: PlatformToolset=v141; Configuration: Release Unicode; Platform: x64

                                            • Environment: PlatformToolset=v141; Configuration: Release Unicode; Platform: x86

                                          • Then, click on the Artifacts, on the far right

                                          • Finally, click on ComparePlus.dll to download it


                                          Now, if XXXX, below, represents the installation folder of the last portable release v7.8.4, with the ComparePlus plugin only installed, by the user, I get this view tree :

                                          Could you confirm @pnedev, that the sub-folder containing the git2.dll and sqlite3.dll librairies must be written ComparePlus, as well ?


                                          Now, regarding the new features, compared to ComparePlugin v2.0, it’s really impressive ;-))

                                          • The commands Compare Selections, Find Unique Lines and Find Unique Lines in Selections

                                          • The options Detect Diffs on Character Level, Shows Only Diffs (Hide Matches) and Show Only Compared Selections

                                          • The filters Ignore Empty Lines and Ignore Case

                                          • The settings Align all matching lines, Never colorize ignored lines, Move caret on navigation and Show "Close Files?" dialog on match

                                          • The highlighting settings Added Highlight and Removed Highlight

                                          Simply amazing ;-))


                                          BTW, @pnedev, in the final version, could you change the first setting as :

                                          • New file in right/bottom view

                                          • Old file in right/bottom view

                                          Best Regards,

                                            Hi @guy038 ,

                                            Could you confirm that the sub-folder containing the git2.dll and sqlite3.dll librairies must be written ComparePlus, as well ?

                                            Yes, that’s correct.

                                            Simply amazing

                                            Thank you.

                                            in the final version, could you change the first setting as …

                                            Sure, no problem.

                                            I hope to be able to release ComparePlus soon, it took much longer than I expected. But I’m really close now, just need to fix several issues.

                                            BR
