Plugin update: CompareSource

[ScottMattes]

Working has gotten in the way, along with not uncerstanding why I can't get ide_getobjectsource and ide_getwindowobject to work (one version has PLSD just disappearing when ide_getwindowobject is run).

This cold/flu isn't helping things either (not MY thinking, but we have many children and half of them are sick).

But, progress is being made - I had my first compare against a file today.

Good (the progress, not the flu). If you are still having problems with ide_getobjectsource and ide_getwindowobject, send me an e-mail with the details.

OK, with many thanks to Marco, thank you, thank you, thank you, I am ready for Beta testing of this plugin.

After PLSD is started there will be a new entry, with the text CompareSource, at the bottom of the list. Clicking this will bring up a modal window where you can choose which file/DB Object that you want to compare the Program Window code to.

ExamDiff, it ships with PLSD, has one 'feature' that might cause some getting use to, that is that if you change certain switches, either at startup or while in the program, the next time those switches will still be on, even if you don't request them to be.

This plugin will let you compare the contents of the Program Window with either a file on disk or a like object in any schema that you have access to in the DB.

Drop me an email, or post here, if you would like the .dll sent to you. If you have Delphi and would like the code I can send it (though it does make use of a 3rd party for debug msgs, but that can be easily commented out).

I am interested, please send me the DLL.
