Comparing and replacing source files

LyciaStudio comprises a tool for comparison of multiple resources and for the presentation of the results in a special compare editor. A source file can be compared with another source file or with the local history.

 

The local history preserves all the changes made in a source file beginning from the moment when it is imported or created. The local history of a file is maintained when you create or modify a file. Each time you edit and save a file, a copy of it is saved. This allows you to compare your current file state to a previous state, or replace the file with its previous revision. In the local history, each state  is identified by the date and time the file was saved. Neither projects nor folders have local history.

 

The files which are compared are opened in the Compare view side by side. The options and appearance of the Compare view can be adjusted using the Window -> Preferences -> General -> Compare/Patch preferences page.
