VisualDiffer 1.2 beta 1

I spent the Christmas holidays working on VisualDiffer, the Komodo visual folders/files comparison extension.

Free $ Mac; Visualizza le cartelle affiancate e trova immediatamente quali file sono diversi, i colori aiutano a capire il tipo di diff.

Now I want to migrate VisualDiffer from extension to standalone application using XULRunner because the folders comparison feature is mature and using it from an extension can be a bit complicated.

  • Obviously VisualDiffer on Firefox is a nonsense because it isn't a browser oriented extension I distribute this version with Firefox support with the hope a larger community can try it and give me feedback before I jump on the XULRunner world. The V1.2 beta 1 can be downloaded from here.

The migration requires some intermediate steps

  • Remove dependencies from Komodo code (especially the unified diff algorithm)
  • Remove dependencies from unified diff algorithm!!
  • Complete the file comparison feature allowing in-place editing using Bespin.
    Bespin can greatly simplify syntax highlight for different languages, search in file and so on
    Honestly I'm considering also to stay with Scintilla (actually used by Komodo) but I love Bespin
  • Use a cool graphic layout, especially toolbar icons
    I'm not a GIMP guru so if somebody would to help me he/she would be welcomed 🙂
  • Allow user defined fonts and colors (low priority task)

I hope to release the VisualDiffer V1.2 for Komodo in a couple of weeks but also not Komodo aficionados can take a look to it installing the beta version on Firefox 3.5.x (also 3.6b5) and SeaMonkey 2.x. Issuhub pro.

Visual Difference

Under Firefox and SeaMonkey the 'files differ' feature isn't implemented (Komodo dependencies) but you can test the folders differ feature that is totally based on standard Gecko interfaces, you can find the VisualDiffer item under the Tools menu.

Obviously VisualDiffer on Firefox is a nonsense because it isn't a browser oriented extension I distribute this version with Firefox support with the hope a larger community can try it and give me feedback before I jump on the XULRunner world.

VisualDiffer is inspired by the fantastic Beyond Compare but this isn't a mystery 😉
