Application Layout (Configuration)
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

The Application Layout branch under Configuration includes the following options:

 

Allow multiple instances

If this option is selected multiple instances of UltraCompare may be launched at the same time.

 

Move to first difference after compare

If this option is selected, the active line/item will automatically move to the first difference in compared items.

 

Move to next difference after merge

If this option is selected, the active line/item will automatically move to the next difference after a merge occurs.

 

Use registry for settings (not INI file)

This setting causes the editor to save and retrieve all settings from the registry.  After UltraCompare determines the INI file in use it checks for this value before reading any other values.  If this is set UltraCompare stores all settings in the registry.  If this option is unchecked, all current settings in the registry will be moved to the newly created INI file.

 

Scan on refresh only

If this option is selected, the folders specified for a folder compare are only scanned when the "refresh" or "go" buttons are pressed.

 

Show difference summary after compare

If this option is selected, the difference summary will automatically be displayed as soon as the active comparison completes.

 

Show session tabs at the top

If this option is selected, session tabs will be displayed just below the toolbars rather than below the compare panes.

 

Append summary to Output Window

If this option is selected, the results of executed file/folder comparisons will be added to the current contents in the Output Window.

 

Show progress

If selected, this option causes the progress of the active folder compare to be indicated with messages and progress bars in the status bar.

 

Load file/folder before comparison

If this option is selected the content of files/folders selected for comparison will be displayed in each compare pane as the item is selected. After the selected items are loaded, the Start button may be used to invoke the compare of selected items.
