xDelta3 Cross GUI

The advent of patch files and their multiple uses in programming not only has meant that their increasing popularity, in turn, resulted in the need for increased versatility, as different purposes and characteristics require specialized patch formats. The xDelta encoding that generated file differences is targeted towards binary files and features several standardized formats.

xDelta3 Cross GUI is a dedicated application that was designed specifically in order to offer users specialized means for creating xDelta3 patch files. Based on old and new files, it will compute the corresponding output patch files.

The main working principle involves adding old and new versions of the source files, and the application allows users to rely on drag-and-drop for performing the input sequence. The main file list visualizer allows for the full path to be displayed, or, just the file names, and each entry can be easily toggled using a system of checkboxes that controls the selection.

The sequential order of the added files can also be controlled, by using the on-screen commands, and removing them is done via the dedicated function. Several additional options control the characteristics of the output patch files, and one can, for instance, choose to create subdirectories, copy the corresponding xDelta executables, or, archive the resulted data.
