_DESCRIPTION_:
Araxis Merge Professional Edition
Araxis Merge 2018
– Take control. Be productive. Join tens of thousands of other pros
using Araxis software. Araxis Merge is a software program that has been
created specifically in order to help you visually compare, merge and
synchronize text files and folders.
Broad appeal, many uses
For legal and publishing professionals:
instantly identify every change between different contract or manuscript
drafts. Directly open and compare the text from Microsoft Office (Word
and Excel), OpenDocument, PDF and RTF files. Copy text from other
applications (such as Microsoft Word) and paste it directly into a text
comparison.
For code reviewers and auditors:
identify in context every change made between two or three source code
hierarchies. Create a standalone HTML or XML report of your findings.
Add bookmarks and comments to a file or folder comparison, then save it
as a single-file archive for emailing to other team members for review.
For software engineers and web developers:
compare, understand and combine different source file versions. Work
quickly and accurately, whether you are comparing individual files or
reconciling entire branches of source code. Use three-way comparison to
integrate changes made by you, and those made by a colleague, with a
common ancestor version. Synchronize a website with its staging area via
FTP using the supplied FTP plugin
For release and quality control managers:
compare different source code branches to give total confidence that you
know and understand every change made to every file for a specific
release. Compare product releases to be certain that only the expected
files have been modified. Create an HTML or XML report of changes for
audit purposes.
Other users:
Whether you are working with multiple revisions of text files or need to
keep multiple folder hierarchies in sync (for example, between a
desktop and laptop machine), Merge could help save time and reduce
errors by helping you to work quickly and accurately.
Text comparison and merging
– Merge enables you to compare and work with different revisions of text
files, such as program source code, XML and HTML files. Merge can
extract and compare the text from Microsoft Office, OpenDocument, PDF
and RTF files. XML files can be shown with special formatting, helping
you to see changes more clearly. It supports files with ASCII, MBCS and
Unicode character encodings.
– Merge shows detailed highlights of changes within lines. It can be
configured to ignore differences in whitespace and line endings, as well
as changes in lines matching specified regular expressions. The latter
is useful for ignoring unimportant changes such as timestamps or
expanded version control keywords.
– A colour-coded side-by-side comparison makes it easy to pinpoint at a
glance similarities and differences between files. Linking lines are
drawn between the documents showing clearly how they are related.
– Point-and-click merging helps you choose the parts of each file that
you would like to add to a final merged version by simply clicking
buttons. The in-place editor with unlimited undo enables complete
control over the merged file as you create it. The text comparison
display dynamically updates as the merge progresses.
Compare text from common office file formats
– Extract and compare the text content from Microsoft Office,
OpenDocument, PDF and RTF files. Copy text from other applications and
paste directly into a text comparison. (Note that office document layout
and formatting is not shown in text comparisons.)
Image and binary file comparison
– Merge doesn’t just compare text files. Use image comparison to compare
many different types of image file and instantly see which pixels have
been modified. Binary comparison enables you to identify differences in
data files at a byte level.
Three-way comparison and automatic merging
– Merge Professional adds advanced three-way visual file comparison and
merging to the Standard Edition’s two-way visual file comparison and
merging. This is particularly useful when more than one person is
working on the same set of files.
– Automatic Merging enables swift reconciliation of even the largest
files. Three-way file comparisons can be launched directly from a
three-way folder comparison, allowing efficient integration of entire
branches of source code.
Folder hierarchy comparison and synchronization
– Merge supports folder hierarchy comparison and synchronization,
enabling you to compare and merge entire directory trees. This is ideal
for detecting changes in different versions of source code or web pages.
You can even use the efficient byte-by-byte comparison option to verify
the contents of recordable CDs or USB thumbsticks.
– With support for a variety of archive formats (.zip, .tar, etc.),
Merge enables you to compare archives as if they were folders. Compare
the contents of an archive to a folder to verify its contents, or to see
which files have changed since the archive was created.
– The Professional Edition of Merge supports three-way folder comparison
(with automatic merging capability), enabling two revisions of a folder
hierarchy to be merged with their common ancestor or some other folder
hierarchy. This can be especially useful when used in conjunction with a
source code control or software configuration management system.
Direct access to configuration management (version control) systems, Time Machine and FTP sites
– As well as being able to compare files and folders on local drives and
network shares, Merge comes with plugins for Git, Mercurial, Subversion
and Perforce. In addition to providing read-only access to older
versions of the files you are comparing, the plugins make it possible to
perform a folder comparison of a local Perforce or Subversion client
workspace against the repository. Alternatively, different branches (or
the same branch at different points in time) within a repository can be
directly compared. A similar plugin for AllChange is available from
Intasoft.
– Merge integrates with local Time Machine‡ volumes, so you can open any
earlier revision of a file or folder. Open the same file or folder in
both the left and right comparison panes, then use the Versions button
to compare a file or folder with another revision of itself.
– An FTP plugin gives Merge file and folder comparisons direct access to
files located on an FTP server. It is therefore possible to use a
folder comparison to synchronize a local copy of a website’s content
with the main site itself, provided the main site is running an FTP
server.
Portable reports
– File comparison reports can be created in HTML, HTML slideshow, XML or
UNIX diff format. HTML reports are particularly useful for archiving
and distribution. Folder comparison reports can be created in HTML or
XML format.
– A folder comparison report can, optionally, include file comparison
reports for some or all of the files involved in the folder comparison.
Thus it is possible to generate a report that is a complete record of
all the differences in all of the files involved in a folder comparison.
Printing, automation and other advanced features
– Other features include the ability to print a hard copy of file and
folder comparisons, and to customize the behaviour and appearance of the
application, including fonts, colours, whether the display is split
horizontally or vertically, and more.
– A full Automation or AppleScript API and Command-Line Interface are
included, allowing close integration with other applications (such as
source/version control and software configuration management (SCM)
systems) or your workflow.
– Comprehensive online documentation is available from the Araxis
website, including context-sensitive help for very dialog and dialog
control.
