First, thanks for a great product, I use it each and every day.
Here are some things I wish I could do:
1) Alignment enhancement. I wish I could select a set of lines on the left, choose align, then select a similar set of lines on the right and have them all align. It would be even cooler if this triggered an updated compare (so if I selected, say 10 lines on the left and 11 lines on the right it would do it's best to figure out which 10 of the 11 lined up with the 10 on the left).
2) I wish I could do an ad-hoc text comparison. I often find myself with large files in my text editor and I want to pull out sections of the file and compare them. Currently what I do is I write each of these sections to a temp file (temp1.txt and temp2.txt or something) and then use BC to compare these files. However, these files are *only* being created for BC. I'd like to be able to open a text compare with no files specified (basically two side-by-side text editors), paste in the pieces I want to compare, then exit without saving (if I make any changes I will copy/paste them into the original files), or if I hit save it could ask me for a file name at that time.
3) I have made changes to a bunch of my File Formats (which is very cool, thank you), and I can save each one individually, but it would be cool to be able to save them all to synchronize with another computer.
Thanks!
