CSDiff

CSDiff is a lightweight software application designed specifically for helping you compare documents and folders by checking out all the differences between them. It can be used for analyzing the changes which have been made between two revisions of the same file or folder, like program source files, HTML or Word documents.

You are welcomed by a clean and intuitive layout that allows you choose the type of comparison that you want to carry out, namely document or folder. You can also consult a help manual in case you have questions regarding the program’s features.

You are allowed to specify the location of the base and compared revision. A set of configuration settings is hidden under the utility’s layout for helping you customize the comparison process.

You may wrap lines, display line numbers, ignore the case of letters, show only the changed lines, detect or ignore whitespace, as well as pick the comparison mode, namely by letter, word or line.

In case you want to compare folders, the tool lets you analyze subfolders and exclude certain items based on file types.

CSDiff gives you the possibility to go to the first, next, previous or last change, move the mouse cursor to the current change, as well as look for files in the text. What’s more, you can enable the edit mode in order to make changes to the document and access, reject or manually edit any modifications.

Tests have shown that CSDiff carries out a task quickly and without errors. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered. You may print the information and export it to HTML file format.

All things considered, CSDiff integrates several handy comparison features, and can be mastered by beginners and professionals alike. Although it doesn’t come with support for advanced comparison tools, it remains easy to use and lightweight on system resources.
