DiffMerge Feature Request: Report if Binary Files are Equal

[ChanceEgan]

It would be very nice if the DiffMerge utility would report if two Binary Files are Equal or not. Right now DiffMerge reports that the files are not text files and even trys to have you change to a different language other than the default as if that would help. It would be much better if your DiffMerge would simply report that it is a Binary file and then report if it is equal or not. There are binary compare tools available if one needs to really compare bits.

Anyway, this is a feature request. I couldn't find if anyone made this request elsewhere or not?

I thought I had fixed that.

Doesn't the error dialog report that?

Code: Select all

....
This may be a binary File.

The files are different (using raw comparision).

Would you like to try another character encoding?
