Location pane on binary compare

Open ganego opened this issue 8 years ago • 9 comments

Hi, today I just found your fork of WinMerge, nice work. When I do a binary compare (for example of two jpeg files) there is no location pane. Could you please implement this, so that you have a location pane in binary compare mode please? I need this quite often to have a quick overview what parts of a bigger file has differences. Thank you

Thank you for the feature request. I will add this to my TODO list.

Thank you. Another thing, when opening a folder for compare I wanted to compare some jpg files in that folder in binary mode instead of the default image mode when double-clicking them. So the only way I thought this could work is by going to the options and removing all file extensions from "Compare -> Image" and add *.jpg to "Compare -> Binary". But this did not work as expected. How can I set the default to always open pictures as binary, but with the optional option as the image compare?

EDIT: Oh I found the bug, when you leave one field empty (the image list) it seems to use the default values. EDIT2: But now I'd be missing an option to "Compare as: Image" in the right click menu for example.

Hi sdottaka, just a small off-topic (no need to create threads for a simple post ;) )

Inno updated language files to 6.0.0 (download of this version will likely be available soon) so it might be a good idea to update winmerge too if something can be useful for you http://jrsoftware.org/files/istrans/ ;)

Thank you for the info.

sdottaka - you're welcome, btw, could you please add the english files for inno and readme at the bottom of the translations' page? http://winmerge.org/translations/?lang=en

it's easier this way because we can use the updated english files to compare with our languages. ;)

There should be now a link the English InnoSetup and Readme file at the translations page.

have this request been resolved on latest version? I'm using v2.16.12.0 but location pane on binary mode is not displayed. I really need this function for binary diff.

Unfortunately, it has not been implemented yet.
