Quick Options in the next ExamDiff Pro

The ability to change some frequently used options directly from the Compare dialog, without opening the Options screen and its multiple pages, has been requested by our users for some time, and the next version of ExamDiff Pro will finally introduce this feature.

Clicking on the Quick Options button will open the comparison mode-specific drop-down menu. For example, for file comparison the menu looks like this:

As you can see, the menu contains the most common settings, such as Use Ignores or Use Comparison Plug-ins. Changing any of these values is equivalent to changing the appropriate setting in the Options dialog or in the main menu. The directory comparison Quick Options Menu is shown below:

Here you can, for example, select the name filter (defined under Options | Directory Compare | Filters, or whether or not to use the date filter.

It would be good if the option "Perform full file comparison" were also part of the directory comparison Quick Options Menu. This would be handy to turn off full file comparison when comparing very large directory structures e.g. over a slow network.

This is actually a good idea, thanks. We'll add it to the directory comparison menu.
