When using Winmerge it appears every file shows up as different

**1234go** · 8 Jun 2010, 02:46 AM

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?

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.

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
