Hi Frank,

I don't know your workflow exactly so it is difficult to answer but (1) my understanding is that the version comparison mode was intended to resolve differences at a point in time, not for keeping documents synchronized over time, and (2) I would recommend that you try instead consolidating everything in a single document, by using switches, hiding/revealing all comments, etc. Dealing with redundant information across documents is always a mess no matter how.

I might be able to offer more specific suggestions if you send a minimal example of what your documents look like.

Regards,

Basile

Hi Joris,

One natural working situation is the following: I have a "dirty" version with \todo notes and something else, and I have a cleaned version. Then I want to transport the modifications between these two versions. Maybe there is a better way to keep them "synchronized"?

And there are situations that I need to postpone the merge - for example, the mathematics involved cannot be easily determined for the moment.

Best,
Frank

Hi Frank,
Things used to work as Basile indicates.
Now I recently wanted to improve the indicated keyboard shortcuts
in the menus, but this seems to trigger some weird (possibly Qt-related) bug.
I reverted my changes in revision 13537,
so things should work as normal in the next version.
Best wishes, --Joris

Hi Frank,
maybe it is obvious, maybe it does not work but… have you tried selecting the "rest" of the document before using the relevant menu command?
That being said, I believe merging has not been designed to be done in two steps: if you start over some other time, you will have to go again through the differences which you have already resolved by hand on your first round.

Dear all,

I wonder how to go out of the version comparison mode. For example, I merge some differences, but for the other, I want to keep the old version and I will merge them the next time, say. Currently, I can only check them one by one. I wonder whether there is something like "retain old version for the rest" or "retain new version for the rest"?

Best wishes,
Frank
