it does all of what i need. folder compare, in particular works like a snap and the fact that it's integrated with UE (my editor of choice) makes it a no brainer for me.
bottom line: it's also a personal preference. BC is fine, but i opted for UC as my tool of choice, after trial running both.
How do you like it? It's not too bad a price if I buy it with ultra-edit.
Well I own a copy of both UltraCompare and ExamDiff Pro and for my money ExamDiff Pro is still miles ahead of UC, though I can see that in the long run I think UC will probably come out on top with features etc over ExamDiff Pro, just don't think they're there yet. But that is one reason I bought the lifetime for UC as I could see it's potential just like UltraEdit.
I use the opensource and free version of winmerge. This is (imho) the ideal tool to compare folders,files etc.
But to put it back on topic. I found the NEW_LANGUAGE_CHANGES.txt and LANGUAGE_CHANGES.txt-files, but I find this a very unfriendly file to read for humans. A visual aid in the actual language file would make much more sense, because then I know where to copy and paste it from the original file. I speak for myself, but I can guess there are more people around here, that don't have a comiler-like application to generate an updated language file. Or is there an application available that takes the language files, takes the txt-file and updates them according to the changes?
Can't say I have ever managed to figure UC out - BC is simple to use, but UC seems so complicated
Excellent program. I posted in another post about it. Used to use another program "ExamDiff Pro" but found that the new version of UC actually surpasses it now. BC is okay but just don't think it compares to UC (IMHO)
