I just noticed that the app FileMerge (installed with the Developer Tools) is in the Finder services menu now. FileMerge is a very cool app that lets you diff and merge files and directories. I haven't played around with it too much yet, but it shades differences when comparing files, thus making it very easy to see what you're looking at.

FileMerge sucks. Period.
I was working on a Cocoa app today, and I made some changes to my interface subclasses in Interface Builder and went to merge them in. It trashed my entire class's code, even though I told it where to move it. I went postal as I didn't have a backup and I was on a roll.
How does it work?
The only thing I fire MS Word up for is word count and track changes.
FileMerge awesome for single-file comparisons
Filemerge trashed a couple directories I was comparing too, but fortunetely they were just inimportant test files.
FileMerge - Needs UNIX line termination
I tried FM after it attained prestigious HOTW status, and I really liked the way it presented file compare info (much more elegant than anything else I'd seen). I resolved to use it for actionscript comparisons, and the first time it gave totally bogus results! I was bummed because I had already become attached. It turns out that the file has to have UNIX line termination, then it works well (I use BBedit light to fix the line ends), though, fixing the line ends is a hassle. |
