file/mod comparing

[Dubious]

Argh! I should have remembered you mentioning that. Fixed it in my ModPath files but not the originals. Everything works fine now.

In there any possibility of somehow otherwise marking the difference lines in the two files since highlighting isn't possible? Inserting a marker at the beginning of the line display for instance? How about a "save differences" option, based upon the current comparison view of course? Though I can see that getting tricky as you might want to only have SOME of the differences in one comparison view and some from the other. But we have to remember that is the object of the exercise. Would it be possible to allow selection of the component from the current side by side comparison view to be saved? A checkbox would probably do, but you would need to track them in order to write them all out on command. But you should be able to put all the selections from either compared file into the same "diff" file, since that is what they will want to be using. I wouldn't advise writing a selection out immediately as people often change their mind after seeing how they balance against other items.

Good progress.
