Nope no sponsors, that would have been great. I'm currently introducing linux to my business clients now (I run a small business out of my home, but I do mostly pro-bono (free) work for kids and the like. Once I get a following I have a list of people creating software that I will pitch sponsorship for. I'll add you to the list.

I do appreciate your time, thanks for considering it.

Can this be adapted to compare Open Docs for both OOo and Koffice? I do a lot of writing, from fiction to manuals and found that beediff is perfect for comparing diff versions of the same doc, but I'm limited to plain text.

This app has a great deal of potential outside of programming (as well as in). This would make an excellent editor's tool!

Consider that your snow job and hope you will consider my feature request :).

Like someone here has already written, I especially like that the buttons are right where the changes are. This is much better than say KDiff3 where you have to do everything via a toolbar. I'm currently using Meld (one of the few GNOME apps I use regularly) because I think its usability is superior to anything else but it is hardly improved anymore, unfortunately. BeeDiff looks promising indeed, but (I have only looked at the screenshots at the moment I have to admit) I'm missing whole directory compare like in Meld. And I wonder - does it have UTF-8 support? I cannot use Kompare because of that. It destroys all files I'm trying to edit.

Cant compile it when running the install script on kubuntu 64bit hardy

Quote:"BtStringTool.cpp:1: fel: CPU:n du valde stödjer inte instruktionsuppsättningen x86-64
BtStringTool.cpp:1: fel: CPU:n du valde stödjer inte instruktionsuppsättningen x86-64"

in translation it goes somthing like:
BtStringTool.cpp:1:error the selected cpu dossent support x86-64..

In project file beediff.pro you must delete a line: QMAKE_CXXFLAGS = -march=pentium.

In next release will be correct.

The install script doesn't work in OpenSuse because Suse's qt4 version of qmake is simply named 'qmake', not 'qmake-qt4'.

Perhaps the install script should fall back to qmake if qmake-qt4 isn't available.

Hi,

I like this app a alot already! : ) What I have been missing for a long time is a 3-way diff/merge tool like meld but on top of QT. I can see that BeeDiff could be finally the one : ) Do you think it would be worth of implementing it in BeeDiff? Kompare had plans for this, but it seems they're not proceeding with it.

Thanks for the great app and keep up the good work!

Br,
Petri

Off to a blinking good start I'd say.
I'm one the Ark Linux people. We would be very happy if you could join us on freenode at #arklinux. We are always looking for devel who think sweet and simple (did that come out right?).

Hope to see you there.

isn't it the same as kompare?

piotrpsz
12 years ago

Yes, is similar.
But kompare is KDE library and Qt depentent.
BeeDiff is only Qt dependent.

If I would be ask for the difference between your application and Kompare, I would say that BeeDiff is more userfriendly when you want to apply changes. Kompare is a good diff viewer but it's not very comfortable when you want to use the mouse. BeeDiff has exactly the feature I've search for: buttons (right there where the differences are) to apply changes to left/right side or to delete changes. And that's very useful.

Because of that, it has become my favorite diff application now :)
So thanks for BeeDiff.

But even kompare has useful features, like the configuration of keyboard shortcuts which is part of the KDE libraries. Is there a special reason why you are not using them?

No. I don't implement this shortcuts because I don't know it.
