    Default 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?

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
