One of the things I liked about BC2 was that I could click "pick rules" and apply a filter to any given file regardless of extension. Exploring BC3 it looks as though this is no longer the case. This is problematic, because often I want to diff logfiles where there's no set extension (.log, .out, .txt, .result, [no extension], etc).
If I were just doing normal text diffs this wouldn't be a problem, but most of my logs have time stamps. I don't want time stamps to count as important text. So in BC2 I added several regular expressions:
^\d{1,2}:\d{1,2}:\d{1,2}:\s+
\d{1,2}:\d{1,2}:\d{1,2}
\d{1,2}%3a\d{1,2}%3a\d{1,2}
\d{1,2}:\d{1,2}:\d{1,2}\s+[AP]M
And - bam - fixed! How do I do this in BC3?
