Multiple select across tabs/panes

Post by Alain »

Hello,

I am a GAOTD recipient and i must say that i am impressed. It is worth every penny. Congratulations!

My question:
I am using the catalog to launch an application to compare files and folders: (Winmerge)
I use the following command:
WinMergePortable.exe <selitems>

It works fine when the files or folders are in the same tab.
However, there is a common use case where you want to compare files/folders on two different physical drives. And i understand they have to live in their own pane. Hence my question: how do you multiply select across panes?
Best regards
Alain

Hi and welcome to the XY forums!
"Worth every penny" yet you got it via giveaway...seems a bit unusual... :?

Maybe something here may be of use? :

There are some other threads you can find via a "winmerge" search here as well.
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

Well, this is a value judgment. I will probably purchase the next major version and i will recommend it to my colleagues.
By the way, in which language is it written: C++ or VB ?

Glad to hear that! But just know that a nbr of folks have regretted buying the lifetime vers when they realize they won't be able to have more than approx a year of updates...if cost of the lifetime vers is really a major issue, at least once a year typically Don has had some special offer so you may want to watch for that.

And so far, the only known limitation caused by the VB code is the 64-bit situation....most all of us don't care what language is used.
