Terry - AKA Dumbledore Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Any update? it seems that 4.0.5 won't be fixing this issue, what a shame 4.0.5 is a major change for the theme system as it deals with file storage locations and display paths. That being said it will improve many issues in the system, but as in all major changes there may be some bugs to iron out. Which is the reason that IPS is focusing on bug fixes in 4.0.6 and above.

Management Charles Posted May 15, 2015 Management Share Posted May 15, 2015 You know... you guys could have done this yourselves all along We provide dev tools for this. You could have just run a diff in your own editors. But we are happy to write a fancy system for you so you can just click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have just run a diff in your own editors. But we are happy to write a fancy system for you so you can just click. On the contrary, a staff member could have just replied weeks ago and told us this was possible. The lack of documentation or replies has left many designers like myself in the dark. This feature was in 3.x and was vital after every upgrade, so it makes complete sense to include it by default in 4.x - honestly, I'm surprised it was neglected for such an extended period. Not all designers use DM (I've been avoiding it due to the bugs which plague it), so accessing those files and doing it ourselves - assuming our editors support change logs, which mine doesn't - isn't efficient, nor ideal. With that said, I'm grateful for the solution which has been provided, and I'm sure my customers will be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of any software that can generate a report as comprehensive as that? I use Kaleidoscope for Mac which is one of the most popular tools available and even that compares one file at a time (AFAIK). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work with diff tools all day long so they must assume everyone can No matter though - we have a nice tool now. It's hooked up with our version control system so it's automated. When we make a release it will instantly show up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flitterkill Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 It's not so much that we can't but more about efficiency. We had these tools in the 3 series and now with a completely new framework we don't (or didn't ). Having diff reports at our fingertips makes our work much faster - one less thing for us to do, or trudge through. Doubly so with all the changes and revisions happening early and often with these initial releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management Matt Posted May 15, 2015 Management Share Posted May 15, 2015 @ehren. I'm working through your bug list. The tabs not working is actually a bit of confusion. Tab keys are only a-z0-9 and then made lowercase. So you're actually using "word_Word" in the language pack, but the actual tab key ends up as "wordword" hence it doesn't seem to match.I've just allowed underscores though, but they have to be lowercase to ensure there are no duplicate but "different" keys.

Mark Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Do you know of any software that can generate a report as comprehensive as that? I use Kaleidoscope for Mac which is one of the most popular tools available and even that compares one file at a time (AFAIK). I use FileMerge which comes with Xcode (right click Xcode > Show Package Contents > Contents > Applications). I've never used Kaleidoscope but considering how much everyone raves about it (and it's a paid-for app, FileMerge is free from Apple) I'm very surprised to hear it can't do folders. But yeah, as Charles says, to us the thought was "well surely they just throw the developer files in a diff tool?" - in 3.x you couldn't do that because it was all in heredocs in a PHP class, but with 4.0 it isn't, so we assumed a dedicated diff tool wasn't necessary. But oh well, we have one now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
