Suggestion: addition of <code>[http://www.schweikhardt.net/samefile/ samefile]</code> to tables. ([[User:203.87.122.227|203.87.122.227]] 01:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC))
The bullet-list of uses in the lead section seems random/arbitrary at best. What is the criteria for the list? How can a diff tool be used to check for rain exposure (for example)? [[User:Mrsuperboot|Mrsuperboot]] ([[User talk:Mrsuperboot|talk]]) 16:41, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
I also thought the lead in section for this page could use some cleanup. I attempted to do so by removing some redundant bullet points at least. Apparently this wasn't a very popular edit of mine for some reason. I am curious to understand how removing identical and unnecessary bullets is a bad edit.

Also missing "diffuse" http://diffuse.sourceforge.net/ ? Haven't used it much but found it when looking for something that can compare more than 3 files at once, and it seems to do this kind of n-way diff quite nicely. [[Special:Contributions/130.217.40.226|130.217.40.226]] ([[User talk:130.217.40.226|talk]]) 01:49, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
:I agree that diffuse should be included. It's the only tool I could find that can compare any number of files.--[[Special:Contributions/208.125.94.82|208.125.94.82]] ([[User talk:208.125.94.82|talk]]) 21:20, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
Missing Araxis Merge. Missing ViceVersa Pro. Missing Windows command console tools Xcopy and Robocopy. Ironic that not a single one of the powerful file and folder comparison tools that I've used for the past 10+ years are on this list.

Missing Diffoscope: https://diffoscope.org/ (Debian "Reproducible Effords", in-depth comparison of files, archives, and directories) [[Special:Contributions/194.25.240.90|194.25.240.90]] ([[User talk:194.25.240.90|talk]]) 13:16, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
Missing "sdiff", in Unix/Linux since before 1980. A wrapper for "diff" that produces side-by-side output. [[User:Mdmi|Mdmi]] ([[User talk:Mdmi|talk]]) 13:17, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Note that this is a comparison of stuff that already has a Wikipedia article. You can pitch in by [[WP:WTAF|writing a new article]] for one of these tools, provided [[WP:GNG|proper sourcing]] exists. - [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]] ([[User talk:MrOllie|talk]]) 21:23, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
Missing UltraCompare: https://www.ultraedit.com/products/ultracompare/ <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:CoreyEMTP|CoreyEMTP]] ([[User talk:CoreyEMTP#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/CoreyEMTP|contribs]]) 19:47, 30 June 2022 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Contrary to this article, WinMerge stable release does not seem to support binary compare (hex compare). According to http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/winmerge/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=61 it's only in dev versions.

: I have removed it again - Please read the note at the top of the article when editing,
"This article is limited only to comparison tools that have a separate article on Wikipedia. Please do not add examples without an existing Wikipedia article. If you want to add a notable comparison tool to this article please write a separate article on the comparison tool first and then link to it from this page."
Please do not keep adding it [[User:Vrenator|<span style="font-family: Papyrus"><
You should delete many of the entries then, because they don't all have their own page. You are reducing the fidelity and quality with a deletion power trip. Who says "This article is limited only to comparison tools that have a separate article on Wikipedia"? Do you own this article? You are hampering the sharing of knowledge for what? the satisfaction of knowing you can undo changes automatically and systematically with the twinkle tool? I won't get into an undo war with you. Please revert the changes or we need to seek community and moderator input.

::If you go into edit the article you will see the words that I quoted about only adding tools with their own page. All the other additions link to Wikipedia articles. DiffMerge had an article which was deleted in August 2011 because there was no demonstrated notability. If you can provide citations demonstrating notability then you are welcome to create an article first. see [[WP:WTAF]]. I am not being "Rash", "Rude" nor am I on a "Power trip" so please could you keep your comments [[Wikipedia:Civility|Civil]] [[User:Vrenator|<span style="font-family: Papyrus"><

It got removed on 2017-03-03T17:00:46 reasoning ''Rm entry which lacks a wikipedia article''. If all the other utilities mentioned in this article do have their own wikipedia article, then of course kdiff3 should have its own as well, before it gets listed in this one. But then ... this is neither my rule nor my decision, I am just trying to explain you what happened. --[[User:Johayek|johayek]] ([[User talk:Johayek|talk]]) 20:28, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
If it doesn't have a wiki-page then it does not exist. This is just stupid. --[[Special:Contributions/2A02:8109:8AC0:4C12:3DC5:5981:27CD:EDA8|2A02:8109:8AC0:4C12:3DC5:5981:27CD:EDA8]] ([[User talk:2A02:8109:8AC0:4C12:3DC5:5981:27CD:EDA8|talk]]) 10:59, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
