| Summary | 0000086: Corrupted my Xcode project | ||||
| Description | I read the reviews, saw the screenshots specifically comparing Xcode project files, and thought this would be a great tool for me. To test it out, I created two Xcode projects and then loaded them into VisualDiffer to compare, and discovered that it didn't compare the two projects. It just listed each projects files completely separately. And when I double-clicked on a file, it loaded that same file in each half of the file compare window. Ok, so I thought, maybe I'm doing something wrong…RTFM. But then when I went to open either project, I got the error… Project /Volumes/Data/scott/Desktop/Test1/Test1.xcodeproj cannot be opened because it is missing its project.pbxproj file. All I did was open the project directories in VisualDiffer. They worked fine before that. I'm just glad I tested this out before using with a real project! | ||||

VisualDiffer doesn't compare XCode projects in any special manner, it treats projects like normal folders and files so it's correct you see them as completely separated. > And when I double-clicked on a file, it loaded that same file in each half of the file compare window On left and right you see the same full file path? Please check the following conditions so I can try to reproduce your env - left and right full path - on folder view if files are marked as "same" > Ok, so I thought, maybe I'm doing something wrong…RTFM I admit VisualDiffer documentation is really really poor and if users need docs it means I have failed to create a well designed UI VisualDiffer doesn't modify content file in any way, File Comparison View is read-only, Folder View can only copy and delete files. File corruption is always true? Every time you recreate two project and use VisualDiffer on them? Please may you determine what change? File size, modification time? Please check file size and modification time before corruption Corruption occurs after file comparison or it's sufficient to open the folder view? I use heavily VisualDiffer to compare XCode file structures (as file/folders) so I don't understand how the corruption on your file is possible considering the only "write" operation is relative to copy and delete files. Thanks for your feedback |
