  • Winmerge Crash when comparing 2 files from Windows Explorer context menu

    Winmerge Crash when comparing 2 files from Windows Explorer context menu

    I have been having this issue for months where I try to open 2 files for compare using Winmerge from the context menu of Windows Explorer.

    I just installed WinMerge-2.16.14-x64 and I am still having the issue, so I thought I'd report this.

    I start by selecting the two files I want to compare in Windows Explorer, and then right click and choose WinMerge. WinMerge will open momentarily and then it crashes.

    An event capturing the crash is logged in Event Viewer under Windows Application Logs:

    Faulting application name: WinMergeU.exe, version: 2.16.14.0, time stamp: 0x60fd100b Faulting module name: WinMergeU.exe, version: 2.16.14.0, time stamp: 0x60fd100b Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x000000000014b2b9 Faulting process id: 0x1308 Faulting application start time: 0x01d78ed77e5b6260 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe Report Id: 01ed8ce7-b8cc-4f10-aadc-50125a883327 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

    If I open WinMerge but only with one file selected, the program does not crash and I am able to manually select my second file. So I do have a workaround, but there is something wrong going on for sure.

    I use this application on many other computers without issue, so the only difference here is that the machine I'm having issues with is a Windows Virtual Desktop in Azure.

    I am running Windows 10: Edition: Windows 10 Enterprise for Virtual Desktops Version: 20H2 OSBuild: 19042.1165

    Not sure if this is something you can look into.

    Thanks.

  • Give this project a better name

    Give this project a better name

    Reacting to Joe D's issue 74 at BitBucket.org, and to get this important discussion into this repository as well ...

    Joe D said ...

    I used WinMerge 2011 for a while until I discovered this project which adds a lot of functionality. I want my team to start using it, but the problem is I don't know what to call it.

    For now I'm calling it WinMerge Takashi, but I don't think that is very clean. Please add a little branding to differentiate from the other projects out there. Put the name into the title bar and the "About WinMerge..." screen so people can identify the software.

    I also found your website which calls it "WinMerge Japanese version."

    Some thoughts: WinMerge JP WinMerge TK WinMerge 3

    Here is my reply ...

    Two Comments ...

    1. I agree with Joe D that a name other than simply WinMerge would be a good idea (especially because of the title bar visibility issue). Locally I've used WinMergeJP and more recently WinMergeV2. Neither seems completely satisfactory; I've never really liked the concept of "v2" because the original WinMerge was itself on version 2.14.0 when this project was forked. WinMerge3 shouldn't be considered, because the "official" follow-on project to the original WinMerge is already called WinMerge3 (its here on BitBucket.org and here officially), even though it appears to be dead before it got off the ground (its most recent update was in early 2011).

      Google seems to know of this project as WinMerge-v2. All of the other WinMerge follow-on projects seem to be contemplating what they should call themselves; I've not seen any resolve this problem. Maybe we should just settle on WinMergeV2 ... ?

    2. I think it is important to move away from using Thingamahoochie Software as the base registry key - this project no longer belongs to them. And there are various registry settings that are new to this project. And I like to have my old, well modified, copy of the original WinMerge 2.13.20 simultaneously installed (if only for various comparisons); the registry overlap is not too awkward yet, but it could get bad at any time.

      I would be eager and willing to contribute the necessary code for changing to whatever new registry key name that @sdottaka would select, including code to appropriately migrate existing Thingamahoochie registry entries.

  • Diff Pane issues

    Diff Pane issues

    1. While I cannot type directly into the diff pane, I can cut (Ctrl-X, Shift-Del), paste (Ctrl-V, Shift-Ins), backspace and delete, perhaps more.
    2. The windows in the pane allow scrolling outside of the currently compared area of the files with no direct way to get back to that region. The easiest way I have found is to go to the next/previous difference and then go back, but this doesn't work when only one exists.
    3. The remainder of the file is still in the diff pane, but it is hidden by, I'm guessing, making the text white. Because editing can essentially be done in the diff pane, it allows the user to make changes to other parts of the file, however they cannot easily tell they have made a change because those sections are not visible.

    Please change the Diff Pane windows to prevent all types of editing, and to prevent scrolling outside of the compared area.

    Thank you.

  • Keep hidden items

    Keep hidden items

    This is a PR in progress, looking for some previous validation before continuing

    The list of hidden items is kept and updated every time a new item is hidden, or if all hidden items are shown again

    I'm currently using a new xml node of these hidden items image

    When opening the project, that list will be read and folders/files will be hidden to keep context

    Also when closing the project with hidden-items the Save method will be triggered.

    Not sure if this functionality needs to be behind a flag/option/setting.

  • Subfolder context menu -> Compare destroys existing results

    Subfolder context menu -> Compare destroys existing results

    I just used WinMerge for the first time today, comparing two big-ish folders including sub-folders.

    At some point I right-clicked one of the sub-folders and clicked Compare (I might want to do this to, for example, change view settings which would only make sense for that particular sub-folder). WinMerge then compared them in the same tab, making it impossible to go back to the original comparison. I couldn't find a Back button or an Up button, so I must assume the results of the previous comparison were lost (perhaps not even in memory anymore), and I had to run the whole diff again.

    So either there's a missing "Back" button, or the "Compare" context menu option should open in a new tab rather than the same one.

    File Duplication Bug In Outputted Zips

    I seem to be encountering a bug when doing the following in WinMerge:

    Ctrl + A to select all files Right Click > Zip > Left to...

    This is a great feature for sending all changes to a zip archive. However, some of the files are duplicated in the generated archive:

    1 In the Mods folder, everything looks fine

    2 Moving into the Zoom subfolder, all files are duplicated

    3 Moving deeper into the Scripts subfolder, all files are triplicated!

    I encountered this problem in 2.16.16.0 so I downloaded the latest version 2.16.24.0 and this issue is still present.

  • [issue] winmergeu and Windows Explorer integration does not behave as expected

    [issue] winmergeu and Windows Explorer integration does not behave as expected

    Calling winmergeu "path_to_file_1" "path_to_file_2" WinMege opens, but closes immediately after window appears. This is happening with the Windows Explorer integration using WinMerge shortcut.

    When calling with parameter "/u" (winmergeu /u "path_to_file_1" "path_to_file_2") WinMege behaves as expected (window stays open). Is there a way to edit registry so opening WinMerge through the shortcut would add the parameter on the call ?

    Param. docu. /u Prevents WinMerge from adding either path (left or right) to the Most Recently Used (MRU) list. External applications should not add paths to the MRU list in the Select Files or Folders dialog.

  • Performance using Unpacker

    Performance using Unpacker

    In order to compare video files, I've written an unpacker plugin using MediaInfo (https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo) to generate an summary of properties and attributes. The plugin works and provides text to be compared.

    Unfortunately, before Winmerge compares and displays the text, it copies the source files to its temporary directory. This happens after the call to MediaInfo, which takes only a few hundred milliseconds to process the source files, generating a few hundred characters for comparison. For video files, that can be several gigabytes in size, the subsequent copy takes many seconds - over a minute for large file - and effectively makes the plugin unusable.

    I can't think of any reason why the source files need to be copied before being overwritten with the generated text. Would it be possible to avoid the copy?

  • Some filters make every differences get ignored

    Some filters make every differences get ignored

    I just updated my winmerge from .23 to .24, and for some reasons, some filters makes every difference break.

    I use a lot of filters but i lost them when updating form 23 to 24. While remaking them, it seems that some filters remove every differences in the file.

    In the two .txt i given, and in the image, the "checked" filters remove all the differences, while the others works without real problem. but the two last sometime works

    I thought at first the filter finished with an * but it doesn't, and before i updated it was working perfectly.

    Request: Capability to collapse or fold lines like in Notepad++

    A feature to collapse the current level (e.g. in case of HTML, JS, etc) in WinMerge like they have in Notepad++ would be very helpful. Notepad++ has a compare plugin but it's less versatile than WinMerge.

    compare uses Create Date, want it to use Date

    I have copied some images to a separate folder but I don't know for sure that I copied, rather than moved them so I want to compare the folders. Since the files were copied, the create date is the copy date, but in both cases the "date" field has the original date which is the date field I want to compare against. Even comparing by file name would work but I don't see that option.

    Add funtion to export differences

    I use Winmerge deeply. As some reason, my team and me are not able to use a code server to sync our work (small team of course). We all used Winmerge to get the changes we made, and share the different files with the team. Now we can only do that manully. So I think it would good if Winmerge can have to button to export all differences to a folder. So I make this request.
