    Default winmerge use question

    Hi,

    I hope this is the right place for this thread

    I'm trying to compare files/folders but I have a quick user question. Currently when I compare 2 folders pretty much ALL files are showing up as different. As I go through them I notice they are identical

    All the blank lines (space between lines) are highlighted which I'm guessing is why they are showing up different.

    Under 'View' i have 'View Line Differences'. Is there something I'm missing? It would take me a forever to go through the thousands of files this way (by the way I was hacked and this is why I have through every file)

    thanks!

    ok I think I figured it out. I went to 'Option' clicked on Compare and under 'whitespace' clicked ignore. I also clicked 'Ignore blank lines'. Hope I did it right.

    still getting some files showing up as different even they they appear identical when I go through them, but it's A LOT less than before.

    thanks
