The next release (planned for Wednesday) will break some of your persistent settings. We’ve repositioned some concepts, and wherever a setting has been moved it will revert to factory defaults. Here’s what will be affected:
1) Several settings have been moved out of File Formats and into Session Settings. File Formats still describe the syntax of a file, but Session Settings now control how they are compared (whether or not an element is important to a comparison, if line endings should be compared, etc).
- Importance, by element
- Whitespace importance
- "Orphan lines always important"
- Compare line endings
- Scope of merge conflicts
- Alignment settings (eg. skew tolerance, "never align mismatches")
- Replacements
2) Whether or not thumbnails scroll is now set once for all file session types, rather than for each one independently. The new setting is under Tools | Options | File Views.
3) The "Use Tabs" setting that was under Tools | Options | Text is now in File Formats next to the Tab Stop setting.
4) Comparison Priority is now a tweak (Ctrl+Shift+T).
