WinMergeX
WinMergeX is a development branch of WinMerge, to provide myself with some features which increase my productivity. Most of these features are patches which were rejected from WinMerge.
Stuff I added to WinMergeX that is not in WinMerge (at least not yet, to my knowledge)
-
Line Transformation engine; apply regular expression-based substitution patterns to lines to normalize input
-
Restored the statistics during comparison, the little boxes that show counts of same files, diff files, right-only files, etc. This is important when launching mid-sized or large comparisons, in order to see quickly if one side wasn't chosen correctly (in which case, left-only and right-only counts will skyrocket, and same and diffs counts will stay nearly empty).
-
Berkeley db cache. This is to speed up mid-sized or large comparisons, by simply reporting the previous result, if the files have not changed in size or modification date.
-
Item file properties in the directory tree. This allows the user to see the details of why an item was listed as an error.
-
Some minor fixes in diff algorithms, which I forget.
-
Colors in the directory view (optional and customizable)
-
Non-recursive copy option on the right-click menu in the directory view
