First thing to understand is that - no matter what file properties (including 'content') you compare - you cannot arrange for SBP to show you a list of those files where all properties that are being compared match, only those files where one or more do not (because 'matching files' need no action, so are not proposed for any, thus are never listed in the appropriately-named Differences window)Īssuming 'discovery' (and a list) of files that are different will suffice for your needs, you need to take into account that by default SBP will decide if files on one side and/or the other are 'different' by comparing The only downside is that Meld is now your default editor for files, and you may not like that if you do a lot of remote editing.Hi, it's possible with certain limitations and/or default assumptions/settings by SyncBackPro that you may not want (so, may need to switch off). Any application for any platform that does that should be supported by this method. This works because Meld supports drag and drop, and also inserting two file names at the command prompt. You should be able to edit the file here and save it and Filezilla should prompt for an upload. Then drag the file from your filezilla window into the 'Browse' area for the fake file in the Meld Window.
Now, when you View/Edit a file, it will open in meld with your fake file on the left, and the remote file on the right. usr/bin/meld /home//filezillafake.txtĬreate a file in your home directory called filezillafake.txt Then go to Edit -> Settings -> File editingĬhange to 'Use custom editor:' and enter: Here is a quickie way to pull this off until it is properly integrated.įirst, install Meld (haven't tried it with any other diff viewer yet) So, when you're not sure why the "directory comparison" feature shows different colours for the different versions, this "file comparison" feature would make it really quick to see what's going on and fix it. I would also like to be able to right-click on a file (on client or server) and click "Compare with file", and this show a dialogue with both files laid out side-by-side, with nice highlighting, like the way Wikipedia does it ( example).įor situations when the last-modified or size information aren't sufficient for me to decide which version of a file I want to keep, this would mean I could decide carefully which version I want, based on the actual data, but a lot quicker than manually downloading the file, opening a terminal and doing a "diff" command on the two files.Īs doing a diff within FileZilla would usually mean you're trying to decide which one should overwrite the other, it could have two buttons in the file comparison dialogue, one under each file to say "overwrite the other file with this one". I love the directory comparison and synchronised browsing features of FileZilla.
