Same files showing as different?

Hello,

The Transfer Type determines how the line endings of text files are handled. You can find more detailed information by searching "ascii transfer" in the BC3 Help file. You can add the perl's extension to the Tools menu -> FTP Profiles (will set for all profiles) under the Transfer tab.

Or you can force ASCII transfers for all files in the Transfer tab of a specific FTP Profile.

I have used BC for several years and often had this problem with "invisible" file differences that disappear when opening the text comparison. Just found out that by switching to rule based comparison, disabling "Skip if quick test..." and and hitting ctrl+f5 (full refresh), the files that have invisible differences will no longer be marked as non-matching. This worked for BC3.

Hello,

Thanks and yes, when you double click on an individual file, this is running a rules-based scan in the file viewer. Updating the folder compare to run a rules-based scan on everything would be like double clicking every file.

"Skip content if quick tests" is usually disabled by default. It tells the program, if enabled, would skip the rules-based scan if the quick tests (timestamp/size) returned equal, as a way to avoid extra scanning if timestamp/size were enough in that scenario.
