When using Winmerge it appears every file shows up as different
I run winmerge and instead of a few files coming back as different it appears as if every file comes back. A total of 2162. I read the sticky thread but when I go to the Tools | Filers | Linefilters section I do not see any option to input any sort of code as detailed in the thread. How can I get this only give me the important changed files?
Re: When using Winmerge it appears every file shows up as different
If upgrading, then ALL the CORE files should be replaced
Then the only files you need to compare/edit are those that you have in your template override locations

See, that's all greek to me. What do I do to get it to compare/edit those that I have in my template override locations?

I'd also like to add that I haven't done anything special to the store other than change some visual aspects like background color, banner etc. No special add on's or modifications at all.

Help would be greatly appreciated. I'm really hung up here, I've been hacked and I need to update quickly and I'm stuck.
Re: When using Winmerge it appears every file shows up as different
A better solution is to use a threeway merge,
the Original stock version in the left pane your version in the cetner pane and the new version in the right pane....
this way you have a list of the files that YOU changed originally
then you only have to work on merging those files into the 1.3.9 series

See I basically need someone to give me a step by step here that's a little more in depth. Especially more in depth than the 3 "easy" steps to upgrade.
Re: When using Winmerge it appears every file shows up as different
the first think you need ot deermin is what files you changed originally
thats why you do a winmerge on a coreset of files from your original install
this will give you the list of files that you have changed
Now you can compare that with a fresh 1.3.9 install and you will now have a short list of files that need to be compared and merged
Re: When using Winmerge it appears every file shows up as different
Thank you for the help. But step by step in Winmerge what do I need to do? I need a guide. I know next to nothing about the program so I need clear instructions. ie Open this file, pull down edit menu and select ##########, etc.
Re: When using Winmerge it appears every file shows up as different
For instance I have no idea how you would get three panels up in this thing. If that's actually possible I don't know how you would do it.
