Thanks to all for your explanations. I have learned something new. That's correct, I was looking for a way to compare MS office files directly from X2. WinMerge, seems to do the trick with doc/xls docs  :D

nikos wrote:windiff can compare anything but for you to understand the results you need plain text files.

Hi Nikos,

Alright, a second reading at the blog and you munitioned it So windiff is probably designed for programmers not really for general users?

I saved a x2 blog in XPS format and did a back up in 2 similar folders on different partition.

when I compare both files with windiff that's the output:



What file extensions are suitable or not with windiff?

@narayan I couldn't ask for more :D You also helped me understand my mistake with the quotes thanks to the blue bold commande in your post! I was doing :roll:   >windiff $"N" $"I" Instead of >windiff "$N" "$I" Regarding your Tip 1 (lowercase tokens) the comman...

@ fgagnon

(post edited) I copied windiff.exe in the x2 installation folder. it works now when I launch it with using "run command" I would like to have the confirmation about the following: every executables I past in the x2 installation folder can be run like this?

If you want to use windiff you need to install it. (The demo assumes windiff has already been installed.) Hello fgagnon and thank you! I have downloaded the .exe but I don't know where to locate it? does it have to be in the x2 folder in the program files? In the video there is only the argument >w...

Ahoy! Microsoft doesn't own all the file formats (yes, PNG) on the planet. I bet they do their best in the imperfect situation that we have here. Yes, sure, so I corrected my post above. However to have standards like "ISO something" for the meta data of all file types would be nice (I am...

Hello, I try to reproduce the same example as in the blog video (at the end) synchronization part 1 However I have a error message when I pass the command: $ windiff $p $g 'windiff' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. cd "D:\My Documents\E Soft\...

That says much. Knowing that consisentcy in naming & tagging - to avoid either too long, either cryptic file names - a collection of mix files is a must.

I would like to see a Mass Rename, like the one of TotalCommander, implemented in X2. It makes what you want to accomplish easily thanks to its graphical interface. Maybe you could try it if you did not find a better solution. Hello Wepver, I am very please with X2, so there is litte chances I chan...

Hey Mr. Pleasant, thanks for the feedback. I will try again then. My system if very old. That could be the reason. I am waiting for the final scream of the HD to re-install

Windows Explorer however uses this information in the same places as it uses streams. That makes sense now. What about video files? I did by trial and it seems that .wmv (comments are embedded. They remains even on a Fat32 volume) but not with .mpeg and not with .flv? Purpose: I want to know exactl...

Okay! I was trying to find some naming conventions or rules to separate strings in the file names and in the comments (instead of killing the flies). not too good: dot = file extension separators (sometimes confusing when I use an app like renamer) underbar = good with short names (like DOS) but mak...

Sorry if you get white hair reading my English, but I rephrase to confirm: in general, layout is window with everything but the folders means: the layout (or in plain English: "the copy of the GUI with a different visual arrangement") is separated and independent from the main GUI. that is...

You mean to say that the user command puts all file formats into the Renamer, except for .mht files? That would be weird. That what I meant, but I have only tested this command with a few file extensions (.pdf, .xps, .doc and .mht) that did not work with the .mht files. However it is still very han...
