"Ignore nothing" at line level only
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2011 6:37 am
Hello,
In "Compare It!", the comparison is made on two levels: at file level for finding matching lines, and at line level for finding matching characters.
For these comparisons, there is an option for comparing while ignoring spaces, character cases, etc.
There is also an option to quickly switch to "ignore nothing" in order to quickly see space and case changes on a file comparison previously made without case and space sensitivity.
I thing it would be useful to have an intermediary mode, where case and spaces differences would be ignored at file level, but NOT at line level: that way, all these trivial differences would still be found, but the line matching wouldn't be sometimes lost as it is often the case when you compare files with lot of indentation changes but nevertheless containing the same text.
