Filtering Folders from Comparison

Post by qulup » Tue Oct 14, 2008 7:51 am

I used subversion and I'm comparing entire directory trees between revisions of my project using DiffMerge. Unfortunately, subversion's ".svn" folders are not the same from revision to revision, so DiffMerge is picking up 391 files with differences even though there are actually one 3 or 4 actual code files with changes. Is there any way to filter the results of the comparison so no files with a ".svn" folder in their path are included? Thanks for your help!

Yes. Look at the Folder Filters page of the Options Dialog. Add .svn to the list of folder to filter and
make sure that the check box is checked to enable them.

Then hit Reload (in the File Menu) on the folder window and see if they don't go away.

That did the trick. Not sure how I missed that on my run through the options.

Thanks Jeff!
