Beyond Compare merges - is there a "take left for all"?

Question

When we do merges with Beyond Compare there is a "Take Left" or "Take Right" option for each conflict.. is there any way to do a "Take Left for all conflicts"? I've seen this in other merge tools (Kidff3 has it) but I can't see it in Beyond Compare.

Answer 1

Change the display filter to Show Conflicts (View->Show Conflicts), then in one of the input panes use Select All (Ctrl+A) followed by Take Left (Ctrl+L) or Take Right (Ctrl+R).

Answer 2

To follow up on what Craig said, Beyond Compare version 3 operates slightly differently. View->Show Conflicts is now View->Show Context.

Also,

• Take Left is now Copy to Left (Ctrl+L)
• Take Right is now Copy to Right (Ctrl+R)

The two mentioned points could be vexing for someone who reads this with V3, because Take and Copy could be seen as opposites.
