How to Report Problems

If you have found a problem with Beyond Compare, we want to hear about it!  Please send us an e-mail that describes the problem, and consider including the following:

Select Support from the Help menu, and click the Export button.  This will produce a zip archive containing your Beyond Compare settings (Sessions, File Formats, etc).  Attach the zip archive to an e-mail to us, and include a description of the problem.

Sample files or a screenshot that illustrates the problem

  3. Select the part of the image that you would like to send.
  4. Pick Copy To... from the Edit menu, change the Save as Type to Graphics Interchange Format (*.gif).
