This page offers you control over the following settings. The preview below them shows what they do:

Preference

Description

Default

Show inline differences

Select this option to make DeltaWalker display detailed differences—added, deleted, and different characters—within blocks of text when visualizing the results of a file comparison.

On

Fold unchanged regions

When selected, long runs of unchanged lines are folded away in the text editors, leaving a few lines of context around each difference. A folded region can be expanded and collapsed again, and doing so in one editor does the same in the others.

On

Show pseudo conflicts

Choose this option when you want pseudo conflicts to appear in 3-way comparison. A pseudo conflict occurs when both first and second files have the same difference relative to their common ancestor. A real-world example for pseudo conflict is when two developers make the exact same change e.g. they both add or remove the same line of code in their respective files.

On

Connect ranges with single line

Turn this option on when you want to have the differing ranges visually connected by a single line; turn it off for a flexible, arrow-like connection.

On

Wrap long lines

When selected, all text editors in DeltaWalker will wrap lines longer than their width at word boundaries.
