General tab
General settings of the TcProjectCompare are stored on the General tab.
In the area Automatic reload after modification, you can set whether the file/project should be reloaded after a change.
Yes | Reloads both files after each change. |
No | Does not carry out an automatic reload. |
Always ask | Following a change, asks whether a reload should be carried out. |
You can set the logging for the TcProjectCompare in the LogFile area:
Delete log if no error occurred | Deletes all log files if no error has occurred. |
Bundle loaded files to a zip archive if error occurred | In the case of an error, the loaded files and the log files are stored as a ZIP archive. |
The log files of the TcProjectCompare are stored in the folder %TWINCAT3DIR%Components\TcProjectCompare\LastLog.
Further general settings:
Multiple viewer instances | Allows several instances of the individual comparison windows (with the exception of the TwinCAT3 project comparison window). |
Ignore read only flag | Ignores the read-only flag when saving. |
If projects or files that are subject to source control handling are compared with one another, it can be the case – depending on the source control client – that files that are not checked out are read-only. These files can be merged despite that by activating the option Ignore read only flag. However, they won't automatically be checked out!
