File Comparator problem with very long lines
Posted: 11 Jun 2008, 12:47
Hello,
i've got a possibly interesting error in the File Comparator plugin 1.09 of Salamander 2.5. On checking and seeing that i still had 2.5, i upgraded to the 2.51f (downloaded just ten minutes ago, same plugin version, even if the copyright string reads "...-2008" now, and same error...
If i compare two text files with very long lines (in this case, xml policy files from the ISS Scanner), the display goes haywire, see the attached jpg...
If only one of the files has line breaks, regardless of Unix or PC type, problem doesn't show...
Not a real problem for me, as the compare in textual form is useless with these files anyway unless i shove them through a formatter, but it might be a thing to fix during the normal development cycle...
Thanks,
Gerhard
