Download of the Day: Beyond Compare 3.2.4

By: (more) | Software News | Posted: Feb 10, 2011 7:42 am

Our Download of the Day today is Beyond Compare 3.2.4.

 

Beyond Compare 3 is the ideal tool for comparing files and folders on your Windows system. Visualize changes in your code and carefully reconcile them.

 

• Compare Files, Folders
Beyond Compare allows you to quickly and easily compare your files and folders. By using simple, powerful commands you can focus on the differences you're interested in and ignore those you're not. You can then merge the changes, synchronize your files, and generate reports for your records.

 

• Specialized Viewers

 

Beyond Compare includes built-in comparison viewers for a variety of data types. Compare .csv data or HTML tables in a Data Compare session, or images in a Picture Compare session.

 

• 3-way Merge

 

Beyond Compare's new merge view allows you to combine changes from two versions of a file into a single output. Its intelligent approach allows you to quickly accept most changes while carefully examining conflicts.

 

• Synchronize Folders

 

Beyond Compare's intuitive Folder Sync interface lets you reconcile differences in your data automatically.
