Compare content of a file

[ozo-sf]

I used to compare content of a file that I've changed since the last sync
session by launching my custom file compare program (BCompare.exe). In my old
configuration I highlighted file in FFS and clicked on "Enter". Then external
file comparison program was launched, opening that highlighted file and showed
the differences. It was very useful feature, offered by FFS.

Where is that option now?

I need to track and compare changes in my personal files.

Additionally, I remember I was able to open new Windows Explorer window,
pointing to a specific file using context menu in FFS. Is it possible to do
now or is it gone?

I've got it working.

Apparently one of the latest updates has silently removed the tag
<ExternalApplications/> .

I've restored it manually by entering those applications back. Unfortunately
there is no way to define an order of those applications in context menu and,
most importantly, the default action, that gets executed by "Enter"... I had
to do it in several steps, manually editing the "GlobalSettings.xml" file...
Not a fun :(.

I had no problems with specifying the way how to launch BCompare.exe. The
tricky part was to restore a command line to open WE windows and point to the
file (not run it). For those who will look at this thread (and if your option
has disappeared as mine had) - here is the way to specify the command line:
<Item>
<1st>Open in WE</1st>
<2nd>explorer.exe /n,/select, "%name"</2nd>
</Item>

There was no change in functionality, just the configuration file format
changed. The default behavior can be restored by clicking the "default"
button. The order of commands is the same as seen in the global settings
dialog where it can be changed as required.

I guess, you're right. Format was changed and my settings were gone... I've
noticed that just now.
How to change the order of commands in global settings dialog?

Double-click an entry and copy and paste. You can insert rows at a specific
location by setting the grid cursor prior to insertion.
