Successive compare

[chrisjj]

I have a number of successive versions of a text file. How can I browse up and down the list viewing each the current file's difference with the previous?

If they're versions of the same file in a single folder, Beyond Compare doesn't provide a way to cycle through them. You'll have to manually launch a separate comparison for each pair of files.

OK, and if they're not?

[Chris]

The only way to quickly cycle through pairs of files in the Text Compare is to launch it from a Folder Compare, then use the "Search > Next Difference Files" command.

Thanks, but that command doesn't work with successive versions in two folders - it simply closes the Text Compare window:

This relates to the earlier http://www.scootersoftware.com/vbull...ead.php?t=8237 where I will post a wish.

Thanks.

You have to do this manually.
