![]() ![]() And to go back to the file selection dialog, press the file chooser button only for selecting the file encoding Examdiff has to use, is a really silly, non-intuitive and contra-productive way of a file comparison. There is no option to force the file encoding in these cases. ![]() ![]() But this dialog isn't really often used (by me at least) and it implies that I (the user) know that the two files are of different encoding before doing the comparisonįor me the normal use case is either send one (or both) files via the explorer context menu to Examdiff or to type (or copy) the file name directly in the "First" and "Second" field of the Compare dialog and start the comparison. If not, I would like to request a new feature for Examdiff:Ī) a check box in the "Text Comparison Options" section, saying "treat different encoded files as different" andī) the same logic in directory comparison mode and enabled "Perform Full File Comparison" option. I didn't find any option to disable the the automatic file format recognition in normal file comparison mode. Yes, I know Examdiff is showing me the file format (of which it thinks the text file is) in the lower right corner of the file pane.īut normally I do not look at this place, I normally focus on the popup "different" or "not different". More worse, Examdiff doesn't compare the file size which is different when the files contains Non-ANSI characters. Only after switching to binary comparison, I detected the real differences.Įven in directory comparison mode and activated option "Perform Full File Comparison", Examdiff treats different encoded text the same, when their modification time is equal and they have the same "textual"/"logical" content. One as ANSI (by accident stored in wrong file format) and the other in UTF-8, which led to an incorrect data import in my database. So far so good.īut because of Examdiffs automatic file format recognition it didn't tell me that both are encoded in two different file formats. I needed to compare two CSV files, where I knew there where differences in them.Įxamdiff Pro (V11.0.1.0) detected the differences correctly. ![]()
