Hi,
BC3 help refers to "The Importance Tab" of the session settings.
I can't believe it took me this long to find it..
I've got a window with a few tabs open, all folder compare sessions with lots of files in them, and I'm trying to find out where to manage the importance for these projects I'm working with.
hunting, hunting, hunting...
per the help, under "Rules vs File Formats" it says go to:
" Sessions > Session Settings and select the Importance tab."
But there is no such tab.
FINALLY, after >20 minutes, I opened up a file pair, and THEN opened sessions settings..
BEHOLD!! there is the tab!
So... this is only available when looking at files?
But WHY? Why can't I configure this GLOBAL property when I'm looking at a project, but instead I have to dig into a specific file first?
I was thrown for a long time hunting in OPTIONS, where this used to be..
ACK.
so.. I suggest you don't hide this so well.
In fact, why have a window like this be "context sensitive" at all?
It's not obvious that there is "any other context" to be thinking about...
Please understand.. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Beyond Compare..
I have it open on my desktop all day every day, usually with more than one comparisons.
It is an indispensable tool.
I've been a long time (is it 10 yrs yet?) user of BC2, and I've had BC3 co-installed for quite a while now.
But I haven't fully jumped ship, because there were some detailed things I knew really well in BC2 that I haven't fully figured out in BC3, and configuring the rules is one of those areas..
Pete
