Perform Diff and Merge on project files

Status: New

For large projects with multiple developers, it will sometimes be necessary for more then one developer to modify the project file. It would be helpful to rapidly identify these changes by comparing working copies with copies from source control.

 

In the attached picture, you can see how a red circle highlights the difference between two project files.

The .lvproj file is easily managed through SCC... After all, it is just a text file. Open it with Notepad and see 🙂

I've never had a project file be properly merged with a different version from SCC (Tortoise / SVN).

 

It's always corrupt after merging, there's too much interdependent information in there.
