DiffDog
2005 is available in Standard and Professional editions, which allow
users to quickly compare source code files, HTML files, or any
text-based files. Both editions deliver versatile comparison and
merging options for all file directories as well.
As
well as Compare Suite, DiffDog 2005 provides powerful capabilities for
folder comparison, allowing not only to compare and merge directories,
but also to open and edit files directly from the directory comparison
view. You can edit content directly within the differencing display,
merge changes, and instantly re-compare the edited files.
Among
other common features is the possibility to compare directory
components by file size and date or by file content. This allows to
quickly look through a folder without screening file text. Both
programs support command line operation and filters (ignore, compare
selected, etc.).
A
unique feature of DiffDog 2005 Professional Edition is advanced
XML-aware differencing and editing capabilities. When comparing
source-code and XML files, intelligent syntax-coloring, line numbering,
indentation guides, folding margins, and other innovative features come
handy.
DiffDog
2005 is especially useful for Web developers and software engineers,
who need to compare and reconcile multiple file and directory versions
on a daily basis. However, users who work mostly with office documents
can benefit from Compare Suite’s ability to compare PDF files and
unique report generating function.
