Download Beyond Compare 3.0.15 build 9758

The developers of Scooter Software have released a new version of Beyond Compare with 3.0.15 build 9758 as the version designation. With this program you can synchronize files between different locations or compare these files in detail. To do the latter well, you can go Beyond Compare to expand with definitions of the different file formats. For more information, we refer you to this page and on this page several instructional videos are available. The list of changes for this latest version is as follows:

Version 3.0.15.9757

FileViews:

• “Open Clipboard” command now includes a timestamp in the path edit.

Folder Compare:

• Fixed duplicate folders appearing when creating them as part of a copy operation (broken in 3.0.14).
• Fixed support for automatic refreshes (broken in 3.0.14).

FTP:

• Fixed error when moving an archive file to/from an FTP/SFTP site.
• Fixed support for transferring files to/from a VanDyke VShell SFTP server.

TextViews:

• Added “Replace All is from top of file” tweak.

Text Compare:

• Added “Zoom Left/Right” commands which incrementally move the splitter (Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left).

Version 3.0.14.9740

Notable changes:

• Revamped support for comparing filename case.
  • Added a “Compare filename case” session setting to control both comparing case and synchronizing it when copying files. Comparing a case sensitive file system to a case insensitive one will now align filenames with differing case.
• Added support for automatically resuming FTP/SFTP transfers at the end of the already transferred data.

Archives:

• “Enter Password” dialog now supports copying the archive’s path to the clipboard.
• Fixed rules-based comparisons only doing a CRC comparison for files with matching sizes.
• Fixed support for renaming a file in a zip to change character case.

Command Line:

• Launching multiple instances of BC now gives focus to the first window opened instead of the last.
• “Quick Compare” dialog is no longer shown for file comparisons launched as part of a batch process.
• Added support for using forward slashes in UNC paths (//server/share).

Dates Compare:

• Fixed crash when changing column visibility and then scrolling horizontally.
• Fixed session’s “Columns” page incorrectly enabling the “Insert” command.
• Fixed crash when deleting a column in the session settings.
• Improved painting performance for really long rows.

File Formats:

• Fixed reapplying file format changes that don’t require a file save (ex. tab stop).

FileViews:

• Fixed error handling when trying to modify a file without write permissions.

Folder Compare:

• Added “Compare filename case” session setting. Files with differing case will be marked as differences and copying those files will update the case of the target file to match the source.
• Comparing a case sensitive file system to a case insensitive one will now align filenames with differing case. Filenames that match exactly will be aligned before files with case differences.
• Expand all and background scans now work depth-first instead of breadth first, as much as possible.
• “*.” as a file filter now matches all files that don’t have an extension. Fixes “All files without an extension” option in the “Exclude from Session” dialog.
• Renaming multiple files that have the same name now correctly pre-fills in the “New Name” edit if the previous rename used regular expressions.
• Changing file filters no longer shows a “This will cancel running file operations” dialog.
• Improved responsiveness when canceling background folder scans and file comparisons.
• Fixed sorting by CRCs or exe versions when the values ​​haven’t been previously calculated.
• Fixed refresh so it re-sorts the display after the refresh instead of before it.
• Fixed support for expanding folders out of order when an Expand All or background scan is active.
• Fixed “Legend” dialog’s height/width on Vista and Linux.
• Fixed file operation’s “Beep When Finished” option.
• Fixed crash when deleting a pair of files after selecting them as part of a “Compare Contents” operation.

FTP:

• Added support for automatically resuming uploads and downloads at the end of the transferred data instead of restarting at the beginning.
• Removed “Filename conversion” FTP profile setting.
• Fixed read timeouts at the end of long file transfers caused by NATs closing the control connection.
• Fixed support for the “Read timeout” setting during passive FTP transfers.
• Fixed setting last modified time of files on Pure-FTPd and ProFTPD servers when the server timezone has been set in the FTP profile.
• Fixed support for connecting to TitanFTP when it returns an invalid SITE ZONE response.
• Fixed crash when transferring/comparing lots of files.
• Fixed canceling SFTP transfers so they don’t drop the connection as often.

HomeView:

• Folder Sync sessions now display the most recent sync summary on the “Sync” tab.
• Fixed using “Open” command with multiple auto-saved sessions selected.
• Fixed deleting multiple auto-saved sessions.
• Fixed accelerators for “Open As New”, “Save”, and “Save As…” buttons.
• Fixed tab order and z-order when using “Open” command with multiple sessions.

Misc:

• Added support for using forward slashes in UNC paths (//server/share).
• Added maximum values ​​for various spin edits.
• Double clicking past the last view tab now adds a new tab on the right side instead of next to the active tab.
• Fixed crash when the session combotree closes after modifying sessions.
• Fixed excess disk usage when retrieving exe version information for files in archives or on FTP sites.

MP3 Compare:
