WinMerge Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Windows NT on 600MHz machine opens apps instantly. What happened?

  I use WinMerge[1] a lot, and it's always impressed me how it immediately opens to a useable state. So it's absolutely still possible to write Windows software that can open instantly. I think the biggest issue, which multiple other comments have identified, is that people just don't care. Apps open fast enough these days, and no one is pushing back on developers to improve their app's startup performance. [1]:... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

  You can use a file diff tool to compare files side-by-side to do a visual comparison. I used Meld on Linux to do this. If you are a Windows user, winmerge is a good, open source visual diff tool. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Eden reforged resource requirements

  What you want is to compare the Vanilla templates.ecf file against the templates.ecf file of RE using a program like Winmerge. That'll give you an idea of what is different and you can alter it to your tastes for a local game or on your own server. (Copy the scenario to your 'scenarios' folder, don't alter files in the subscribed folder, they'll just get overwritten.). Source: over 1 year ago

  Identify the duplicates, estimate your storage savings and remove duplicates using Dedupe analyzer and dedupeGuru. https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-deduplication-analyzer Https://dupeguru.voltaicideas.net/ WinMerge can be used as well, especially if you have more than two locations to compare. https://winmerge.org/ Prior to removing any data, ensure you have a recent backup job finished successfully.

  You'd need a tool like WinMerge (open source) and a bit of understanding of the two mods to know what to combine, but the tool is very helpful. Source: over 1 year ago

• Robocopy to ensure two directories are identical?

  I know you asked for help with robocopy syntax, and I hate when people just comment a different tool or way of doing the same thing instead of actually trying to help. However, I had similar issues with robocoby. I couldn't get it to work exactly how I wanted it to. Then I found WinMerge, and it allowed me to do exactly what I wanted, and was super easy. It is worth checking out. Https://winmerge.org/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers

  IMHO, Meld is the second best tool for doing this. On Windows, WinMerge[1] is a better alternative. Too bad is Windows only. [1] https://winmerge.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Highlighting changes in a text file

  I saw things like this in a lot of sites/forums other than in SO, or Github repos, I even know an open-source local solution for that (https://winmerge.org), but it just compares 2 or 3 files, not appropriate for tracking the entire history of changes quickly. Source: about 2 years ago

  There are standalone tools for comparing files, like KDiff or WinMerge. These programs need the original and new version of the file to perform the comparison. Source: about 2 years ago

• Migrating from GitLab to GitHub

  What I did, was to write a script to check out every project from its old home on GitLab, and every project from its new home on GitHub, and then manually ran a diff using WinMerge. This (after some time) eventually confirmed that aside from the .git directories (which we can safely ignore), all of the code matched. The transfer had been a success. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
