ExamDiff is a user-friendly software for visual file comparison with a double-pane view and color-coded lines indicating additions, deletions, and changes.
One of the key features of ExamDiff is the ability to toggle between the first and second files. This makes it easy to compare two versions of a file and see the differences side-by-side.
Additionally, ExamDiff automatically detects file changes and prompts the user to re-compare files. This is especially useful if you're working on a project with multiple collaborators and need to stay up-to-date with changes.
Another handy function is the one push re-compare feature, which attempts to leave the viewer's focus in the same place as before the re-compare. This saves you time and ensures you don't lose your place in the comparison.
ExamDiff also supports drag and drop, allowing you to drop one or two files into the program's window from Windows Explorer. This makes it easy to compare files that you're already working with.
The tool comes with easy editing capabilities for the first and second files. ExamDiff will spawn any editor (configurable by the user) with the first and/or second file. This means that you can edit the files directly within ExamDiff, saving you from having to switch between programs.
ExamDiff saves the standard UNIX DIFF file and makes it easy to navigate through the differences via 'Next Difference'/ 'Current Difference'/ 'Previous Difference' buttons and hot keys or via a list box of all the differences.
The program also includes a simple 'Search' option to search for strings in the comparison panes. ExamDiff is fully customizable, with customizable colors, font, tab size, and comparison settings. It also comes with a fully customizable file extension filter.
ExamDiff offers tooltips that include file properties, difference numbers, and more, and a fully adjustable pane splitter with smooth synchronized scrolling, allowing for easy toggling between horizontal and vertical splitter orientation as well as splitter centering and panes hiding.
Finally, the program also offers a command line interface for advanced users who prefer to work with scripts. Overall, ExamDiff is a powerful, feature-packed tool for visual file comparison that any Windows user is sure to appreciate.
