PrestoSoft Blog: ExamDiff Pro 16: Improved Clipboard Comparison Support

ExamDiff Pro 16 will introduce the ability to select clipboard snippets to compare from your clipboard history, enabling you to compare files against clipboard snippets you've taken in the past and even compare multiple clipboard snippets against each other.

To select a clipboard item for comparison, click the drop-down button next to the Clipboard button in the Compare Files pane of the Compare dialog (clicking the Clipboard button itself will select the most recent clipboard item, just like it does today):

You'll see a list of up to 25 of the most recent entries in your clipboard (less if your clipboard history was cleared recently). Each item shows a sample of its contents and the time that it was added to the clipboard. Hover over an item to see a tooltip with a longer preview of the clipboard item's contents:

After you've selected a clipboard item, it will be shown as "[Clipboard Contents]" followed by its size (in number of characters) in the Compare dialog:

Note that this feature requires Windows 10 or later. Earlier versions of Windows will only support the current clipboard-comparison behavior, where you can compare only the most recent item in your clipboard.
