Why are *.map files completely ignored?

[jthg]

I've been using DiffMerge for a while, but I just noticed today that if I'm comparing two folders, DiffMerge completely ignores any files which have a ".map" extension. If I change the extension of the files to any other random extension (for example ".abc") the files appear in the diff window. I was comparing two folders in which I knew some of the *.map files were different, but DiffMerge said that the two folders were exactly the same.

Is this intentional? How can I use DiffMerge to compare two folders if I need it to include *.map files in the comparison? Thanks.

I'm using version 3.3.0, build 18513 on Windows 7 Pro.

By default, .map files are filtered out. This setting can be changed in the Diff/Merge tool under Tools->Options->Folder Windows->Folder Filters->File Suffix Filters. Remove map, and it should then show up in your diffs.

Thanks!

Huh, the default list of ignored files is huge.

Let me know if we can be of assistance in the future.
