[Kdiff3-user] Ignore C comments on directory compare

[GOVAERTS L. <Lie...@po...>]

Hi,=20

=20

I'm using KDiff3 on WinXP. I want to compare two directories on my disk,
containing two versions of a

Library written in C. My goal is to find the changes in the source code
between those versions.

Unfortunately, the developers have changed some line in the header ( the
copyright notice ), so all the

Files have been changed between those releases, but most of them only in
the header comments.

I don't want to see those files in the directory compare windows as
being changed, so I enabled the

'Ignore C/C++ comment' option. This didn't do what I want it to do ( in
fact, it doesn't seem to do anything

at all ). Example of those comments:

File in the 'left' folder:

/* abandon.c */

/* $OpenLDAP: pkg/ldap/libraries/libldap/abandon.c,v 1.31.2.4 2004/02/23

File in the 'right' folder:

/* abandon.c */

/* $OpenLDAP: pkg/ldap/libraries/libldap/abandon.c,v 1.31.2.5 2005/01/20

Can anyone explain how I can avoid these files showing up in the
directory compare window?

Lieven.
