Project Comparison

[simone]

Dear all, for debugging purposes, I need to compare two snapshots of a project. I see the comparison tool available in Lazarus, but it compare two file, not two projects. So, do I need to use an external tool (i.e. Meld) that is able to compare two directories? Thanks.

Yes, you need to use an external tool.

Thanks. I thought I missed something. I think it might be useful to consider this feature in future versions of Lazarus.

(I use cygwin's diff for that with a batchfile to set default opts. The arguments (%1 and %2) are directories)

diff -udirwB --ignore-file-name-case --strip-trailing-cr   %1 %2 >diff.txt
unix2dos diff.txt
start notepad diff.txt

)

You can use Beyond Compare (commercial) or WinMerge (free).
