Currently names (paths) of compared files are read-only text labels.
It would be very helpful if content of these fields can be copied somehow.
Make filename selectable/copyable (feature request)

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll pass this info on to our developers.

Yes, as a multi-platform user (Mac, Win, Linux), I am experiencing a bit of available features confusion. There is a DiffMerge.net site that provides a Windows-based tool that looks very similar to the SourceGear offering, but it has exactly the type of file/directory merge capability that I really need. This capability is much like the Linux "meld" tool. Can you please enlighten me regarding the overlap or not between the SourceGear DiffMerge and that offered by DiffMerge.net?

We are not affiliated with DiffMerge.net and I personally
have never used it, so I can't really talk about what their product does or doesn't do (other than just repeating their feature sheet). It would help if you could elaborate on what features you are looking for in a tool. I'll briefly describe some of SourceGear DiffMerge's features and give some links for additional information. [*] SourceGear DiffMerge is a cross-platform app that runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X with an identical feature set. http://download-us.sourcegear.com/DiffMerge/content/webhelp/chapter_introduction.html [*] We support 2-way Folder comparisons showing a side-by-side listing of the contents of each folder. There are lots of options for ignoring/excluding common trash files (such as compiler output and dot-files). You can double-click on a pair and see the differences in a File Diff Window. http://download-us.sourcegear.com/DiffMerge/content/webhelp/chapter_folderdiffwindow.html [*] We support 2-way file comparisons (File Diff Windows) which shows the changes between the 2 versions of the file. You can easily move between these changes and "apply a change" from the left side to the right. You can also interactively edit the right file. http://download-us.sourcegear.com/DiffMerge/content/webhelp/chapter_filediffmergewindows.html [*] We support a 3-way File Merge which allows you to see 2 different versions and a common ancestor and allows you to merge changes to the middle. Auto-merge is supported. [*] We support Rulesets which allow you to customize by file type how files are compared, such as ignoring case for Visual Basic files or ignoring lines containing Copyright dates. http://download-us.sourcegear.com/DiffMerge/content/webhelp/chapter_rulesets.html [*] It is relatively easy to make SourceGear DiffMerge the diff/merge tool of many popular Version Control systems. http://download-us.sourcegear.com/DiffMerge/content/webhelp/chapter_integration.html There are many more features, but that is a good start. As for which is best for you, download them both and give them a try. Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions. jeff |

[For some reason your last response got flagged and didn't get properly posted. I've quoted it here.]

Yes, the 4.0 release is strictly a viewer of the structure of the file/directory structure. The 4.1 release (due out in a few weeks) addresses that and will have the ability to copy/overwrite files and folders from one side to the other. jeff |
SUPER. Thanks for finding my lost post - I think I didn't reply correctly. I really look forward to the soon-to-be-announced version 4.1 and the file/directory merge/manipulation feature.
