WinMerge v2.16.0.0 has a new bug that did not exist in v2.14.
Annotated screenshots are included inthe ZIP file and also included separately as attachments for you to quickly see the problem from this bug ticket page.
Steps to Reproduce
- Unzip the attached ZIP file onto your desktop (or wherever).
- Compare the two folders "folderA" and "folderB".
- Select the two files "fileA.txt" and "fileB.txt" and right-click and select "Compare".
- Click "Next Difference", "Copy Right and Advance", "Save", and then switch focus to another program.
Problems
I see two buggy things, which are likely related:
1. WinMerge reports that another application has updated the source file "fileA.txt" (which did not change, we copied from A to B).
2. If you click Yes to reload the file, the two files are swapped.
My attachments didn't work. Trying again.
