My explanation is a vague, owing to lack of skill and vocaublary, but if you have ever used Beyond Compare you will immediately see why a simple, but ‘volume’ user like myself finds the product meets requirements. No, I need a GUI based solution and I want to be able to control it as if it were a command line - as I said: crude and flexible.

That’s the last capability I would ever give to any computer, having spent my early career working with control systems that did things ‘automatically’! Thank you for the suggestion, but the soliution you recommend has 2 characteristics that do not meet my needs: Networked machine’s drives, or all the way around the earth to other Or put it under a icon that you can click anytime you feel like it…Īnd rsync works to make copies on another partitions, other drives, You can even put single command into cron and have it run hourly,
#BEYOND COMPARE PROGRAM UPDATE#
When you execute the command it will COMPARE all files in allĭesignated folders and automatically update the copy to match the

You can use ONE command to do the whole thing (“whole thing” meaning With “data recoverability”, but if all you you wanna do is make anĮxact copy of a folder (or folderS) and contents somewhere else, you I don’t know exactly what “RAID1 archtiecture” is or what it has to do For a file view, the specified path is also used to choose the appropriate file format.> to implement a sort of crude but very flexible RAID1 archtiecture Shows the specified version control system path in the respective path edit unless a title has been provided. Shows the specified description in the respective path edit. For scripts, any unresolved issue that would normally show a dialog will log an error instead. For settings packages, all settings will be imported. No Task Bar entry or window will be shown. Overwrites the specified file instead of original file when the file view's Save command is used.Ĭauses all interaction to be suppressed. Opens a Text Merge view if /automerge is present and conflicts are found. If a type is not specified, a rules-based comparison will be performed. The specified type can be size, crc, or binary. Performs a quick comparison of two files and sets the DOS error level on exit. Turns on Ignore Unimportant Differences if /automerge is present.Įxplicitly specifies the merge output file. Opens a new view of the specified type which can be any of: Writes conflicts to the output with CSV-style markers if /automerge is present. Surround the name filter with quotes if it contains spaces. Separate multiple file masks with semicolons. Uses the specified name filter for the initial folder comparison. Overrides the Close when finished setting in Tools | Options ( Beyond Compare | Settings on macOS) | Tweaks | Scripts.Įxpands all subfolders during the initial folder comparison.ĭraws nonconflicting changes in the output from the "favored" side without coloring or section lines.įor ignored unimportant conflicts, changes are automatically taken from the "favored" side instead of the center.

Opens the help file to the "Command Line Reference" page.Īutomatically merges files without user interaction unless conflicts are found.Įxplicitly specifies the merge center file.Ĭloses the script window on completion. Note macOS and Linux users should prefix the switches with "-" instead of "/".
#BEYOND COMPARE PROGRAM PATCH#
Opens the specified file in the Text Patch view. extĪutomatically executes a list of commands without using a view. Opens a Text Merge view with the specified files in the left, right, center, and output panes. Opens a Text Merge view with the specified files in the left, right, and center panes. Opens the specified files in the associated file view. For example:īCompare.exe "C:\ Left Folder " "C:\ Right Folder " Opens a new Folder Compare view with the specified base folders. (see also Managing Workspaces) For example: Opens the specified session in the appropriate view. Note macOS and Linux users should use "bcompare" instead of "BCompare.exe". Notice that each parameter should be enclosed in quotation marks if it might contain a space. Open this program from a version control system because it will wait for the comparison to complete before returning. If you open it from a version control system interactively, it will show a console window while it's waiting. If you open it from one (or a batch file) that console will wait for the comparison to complete before returning. If opened from a console window, the console (or batch file) will not wait for it. If opened from a version control system, it should work just fine. If you open a second copy, it will tell the existing copy to start a comparison and exit immediately.
#BEYOND COMPARE PROGRAM WINDOWS#
Only one copy will run at a time, regardless of how many windows you have open.
