Okay so here it goes - Beyond Compare! A trusty companion since many years - and I still learn new tricks!

New trick I learned lately: Rules

I hade a large text with lots of changes I was not interested in and only some changes which are important to me. (Diff over Unity Engine logs for builds with non deterministic prefab packing).

Rules helped me to reject all non-important lines and only search changes in important ones. You can use rules too!

@RichardKogelnig I'm so glad bc exists, it pretty much makes my life easier any day of the week.
What I learned recently about it was that bc had this nifty reporting feature. You can compare two directories and generate standalone HTML web pages in various styles. Very handy to point out unversioned changes to pretty clueless clients, among other things :)

@RichardKogelnig Love Beyond Compare! Such a great tool.

I use it frequently for comparing directories.

Years ago I even wrote a journal article about its image comparison capabilities 😆
