Hello Scooter,
Chris, Aaron - hope you are well.
I am comparing delimited files with 160+ columns. Without going into the details of why, I need to have columns 2-45 or so be unimportant, and everything else be important.
I have tried
Question: Is there a way to change the importance of a range of rows (columns)?
If not, would you please consider the last bullet point above as a bug report/enhancement request for a future release? Ideally if a range is selected, and the edit dialog is popped and the setting changed, I would like it to iterate all the items in the selected range and apply the changed value to all.
Thanks. Beyond Compare Rocks.

I have tried
- Changing them (2-45) one at at time to be unimportant, but this is a bit cumbersome for anything more than a few columns.
- Setting all to unimportant, then making 1 and 46-160 important but again - cumbersome.
- Selecting several rows in the "Data Compare - Session Settings" dialog, right clicking, selecting Edit... from the menu, changing the unimportant checkmark, but it only modifies the first row which is selected in the range. So for example if I have rows 2-40 selected, right click, Edit..., and change the setting for importance, only row 2 will be changed. It would be great to have rows 2-40 changed.
