Auto Merge and Show Conflicts Only Mode

Post by tridy » Thu 26 May 2011 12:29

Hi.
I am trying to see if CodeCompare is a good replacement for the standard merge tool and here is what I have problems with:

In VS2010 and TFS, when there is a conflict and CodeCompare opens, O see that both conflicting and non-conflicting changes must be resolved manually. Is there some setting that I have missed? What I would like to have is CodeCompare to merge all the non-coflicting (blue color) changes automatically and leave the conflicting (red color) to be handled manually.

Also, most of the time I would like to see something similar to standard's tool "Navigate Conflicts Only" mode. Is it possible to do that in CodeCompare?

Thanks.

Such mode is not currently supported by CodeCompare, however we will consider its implementation in future.

To navigate between conflicts you can use the two shortcuts

And what about main problem?
What I would like to have is CodeCompare to merge all the non-coflicting (blue color) changes automatically and leave the conflicting (red color) to be handled manually.
This is must have functionality for merging tool. Without it Code Compare is simple unusable for VCS conflicts merging :(
Imagine: I use git merge on a big file with lots of changes from both sides, and as a result have only one conflict. To resolve it I use Code Compare... And what I see? To resolve one conflict I need manually merge all other non conflicting changes!!! Merge tool must have a button to automerge non conflicting changes and live for user only conflicting one. As tridy said 9 years ago...

Hi, there's an auto merge functionality in Code Compare, and conflicts are marked in red. Please provide us with the files you are trying to compare via https://www.devart.com/company/contactform.html, since we'll need to investigate your case.

Oh, I just figured out that CC done it automatically on opening - the Result file is auto merged file. And show base file button bring traditional remote-base-local view. I read docs about 3 way merge again and fount it in the description of Result.
I think you need to somehow more focus the user's attention on how to make auto merge both in the program and in the documentation.
Thank you.
