#114 Where is the Print option?

[Zoe Eppley]

WinMerge 2.16.0.0 Win10Pro 1803
Please tell me where to find the Print option or how to export via csv. Ctl-A, Ctl-C doesn't allow me to paste into Notebook or any Office file. The WinMerge Help says use File/Print but that is missing in this version. No other menu appears to include a print or export option. The online manual does not address how to print. Apparently WinMerge has been able to print since about 2007. TIA

PRINTING: I have the same problem, though a Print option =occasionally= appears under File, but not reliably or repeatably in my personal experience.

EXPORTING TO CSV: This option is in a somewhat unintuitive place. (I.e., not something like a menu item labeled 'export'!) Go to TOOLS, then GENERATE REPORT, and you'll get a dialog asking for the Report File where you can specify the file to contain the exported data. (See attached screen snip.) There are currently 4 choices, with comma-delimited string being the defaulr. NOTE: Even with that option selected WinMerge will =NOT= include a .CSV extension in the file name, so make sure you specify the extension or be aware that you will need to add the extension outside of WinMerge after the export has completed.

Side note: Too bad there isn't a PDF option in the list of formats (WinMerge uses the term
'style') supported in GENERATE REPORT!
