客戶群

　　DeltaWalker為廣大客戶群提供了一個令人感興趣的工具—從精明的電腦用戶到軟件專業(yè)人員都迫切需求的最好的工具。

• 軟件和網(wǎng)絡開發(fā)者—對比，分析和合并不同版本的源文件。使用三向對比來對比您和擁有共同祖先的另一參與者的變化，并立即自動合并所有的非矛盾差異。通過服務器，使用FTP、SFTP或WebDAV對比和同步網(wǎng)址的本地副本。查看和對比同時作為文本和結構的XML文件。對比和合并作為文本的HTML文件，然后通過內置的瀏覽器預覽就地。如果只是文件夾，可視化和對比 JAR, EAR, ZIP和其他壓縮文件。
• 代碼審評員—依靠準確內嵌差異可視化來觀看和了解每一點變化。停留在上下文，并控制在并排整合文件夾和文件對比中。生成HTML或XML的對比報告，以便歸檔和審計，或通過電子郵件進行交流。
• 配置管理工程師和管理人員—可視化，導航，分析，編輯和合并文件夾層次結構及單個文件的復雜變化。調解使用三向對比和自動合并的兩個參與者的變化。
• 語言翻譯者—對比兩個含有不同語言文件的文件夾，只需雙擊，就可按您的工作方式處理單個文件。
• 法律和出版界專業(yè)人士—當對比不同的文件草案時，down-to-the-letter比對準確度甚至可以向您展示標點符號的差異。相信DeltaWalker甚至可以迅速提取和對比最大的PDF和Office文件的文本。
• 科學家、研究人員和工程師—當對比文本輸出和不同實驗結果時，可以節(jié)省時間，消除猜測，并盡量減少錯誤。
• 計算機用戶—用速度和信心消除信息重復。只檢查文件大小和時間戳，快速對比整個驅動器和文件夾。或使用字節(jié)對比來保證文件是相同的，只點擊幾次即可實現(xiàn)同步。

對比和同步文件夾

　

對比文件

并排對比并采用與探測器一致的方式可視化文件夾。相同的文件和文件夾顯示為灰色，將注意力集中在實際的顏色編碼差異。

DeltaWalker的文件夾和文件對比符合人機工程學。在文件夾對比窗口中雙擊一對文件即可在文件夾對比下打開他們。

同步文件夾

　　同步文件夾由一套靈活的選項和復制/移動/刪除操作提供。所有操作都由專用線執(zhí)行，確保DeltaWalker的用戶界面在任何時候作出反應。

三向文件夾對比和同步

三向文件夾和自動同步化（只Oro版本）在概念上與三向文件對比和合并相同，但它是在文件夾上操作。它會掃描執(zhí)行三向文件對比的整個文件夾層次，并合并每個文件三元組。

　　位置透明性

　　對FTP，SFTP，HTTP，HTTPS和WebDAV的內置支持，您可以把本地和遠程的文件和文件夾一視同仁。

　　SSH文件傳輸協(xié)議（ SFTP）和基于Web的分布式創(chuàng)作和版本控制（ WebDAV ）經(jīng)常為您提供相同的勢力，安全性和靈活性，如同您與本地文件系統(tǒng)合作一樣。其他協(xié)議，比如FTP的使用，可能會限制復制，移動和刪除文件或設置文件的時間戳。根據(jù)協(xié)議書和您的網(wǎng)絡性能，您可能甚至沒有被通知正在使用遠程資源，您會得到對比的全方位和勢力，依您所愿進行合并/同步操作。

　　用戶名和密碼會被保存為您的部分會議和URI資源，可以供您日后使用。不過，他們將被小心地從URI顯示字符串中刪除，以保護您的隱私。

　　個性化

　　DeltaWalker將個性化提高到了一個新水平，它的定制化和幫助功能，可以讓您隨意修改其外觀和行為，以適應您的個人喜好和手頭工作的具體細節(jié)。

　　注重細節(jié)已經(jīng)覆蓋到DeltaWalker用戶界面和適應您工作方式的所有領域。不論是在文件夾對比窗口中，通過最先進的圖形設計和窗口動畫，使用像本地工具欄和菜單這樣的創(chuàng)新習語，還是自定義字體、顏色、標記位置和快捷鍵的能力，DeltaWalker都向大家展示了其用戶界面設計的最高標準。

　　可定制的打印和打印預覽

　　在DeltaWalker中，一次點擊就可以打印文件或文件夾對比。可伸縮的打印預覽使您可以清楚地看到將被打印的文件。頁面設置對話框使您可以在打印前完全自定義并預覽您的頁眉和頁腳。

　　報告的生成

　　DeltaWaker能夠生成HTML和XML格式的文件和文件夾對比報告。您可以選擇創(chuàng)建鏈接的文件夾對比報告，這些文件夾對比報告與單個文件對比報告相關聯(lián)。XML和HTML報告是建立文件和文件夾差異b/n對電子快照的一種很好的方法。這種快照可以輕松地儲存并追蹤利益文件的變化歷史，它們也非常適合做電子交易，例如通過電子郵件。

Audience

DeltaWalker presents a compelling offer to a wide audience—from savvy computer users to software professionals demanding the very best of their tools.

• Software and Web developers—compare, analyze, and merge different versions of source files. Use three-way comparison to compare your changes and those of another contributor with a common ancestor and to automatically merge all non-conflicting differences in seconds. Compare and synchronize a local copy of a web site with its server using FTP, SFTP or WebDAV. View and compare XML files both as texts and structures. Compare and merge HTML files as text then preview in-place with the built-in browser. Visualize and compare JAR, EAR, ZIP and other compressed files as if they were simply folders.
• Code reviewers—rely on accurate inline difference visualization to see and understand every change. Stay in context and in control within side-by-side integrated folder and file comparison. Generate HTML or XML comparison reports for archiving and auditing purposes or for exchange via email.
• Release engineers and managers—visualize, navigate, analyze, edit, and merge complex changes in folder hierarchies and individual files. Reconcile changes from two contributors using three-way comparison and automatic merging.
• Language translators—compare two folders with files in different languages and work your way through individual files simply by double-clicking them.
• Legal and publishing professionals—let down-to-the-letter comparison accuracy show you even punctuation mark differences when comparing different document drafts. Trust DeltaWalker to quickly extract and compare the text of even the largest PDF and Office documents.
• Scientists, researchers, and engineers—save time, eliminate guessing, and minimize errors when comparing text outputs and results of different experiments.
• Computer users—eliminate information duplication with speed and confidence. Quickly compare entire drives and folders checking only file sizes and timestamps or use byte-by-byte comparison to guarantee that files are identical then synchronize with a few simple clicks.

Compare and Merge Files

Comparing Files

DeltaWalker lets you compare just about any set of text files - plain text, software source code, XML, HTML, as well as compressed files—BZ2, EAR, GZ, JAR, TAR, TBZ2, TGZ and ZIP.

Load, or paste them, and enjoy the view. And don't worry if you accidentally attempted loading folders instead of files into the editors—DeltaWalker would correctly recognize their types and simply open them as you intended - as folders in a folder comparison window.

Merging Files

Contextual merge buttons, powerful in-place editing, automatic re-comparison in the background, unlimited undo/redo all work together to bring you easy and intuitive file merging functionality.

Three-way file comparison and merge

Three-way comparison (Oro Edition only) is the automated difference analysis between two modified files with respect to a common one—an ancestor. It evaluates to more than two standalone two-way comparisons as it also reflects the level of convergence between the two derivative works.

Three-way file merge is the automated merging of non-conflicting differences and it allows you to reconcile even the largest files in seconds. Conflicting lines of text, if any, are clearly highlighted and brought to your attention for resolution.

Compare and Synchronize Folders

Comparing Folders

Folders are compared side-by-side and visualized in a way consitent with Finder. Identical files and folders are shown dimmed, bringing focus to the actual, color-coded differences.

Folder and File comparison in DeltaWalker are ergonomically integrated. Double-clicking a pair of files in a folder comparison window opens them in a file comparison window just below the folder comparison.

Synchronizing folders

Synchronizing folders is powered by a flexible set of selection options and copy/move/delete operations. All operations execute on dedicated threads, keeping DeltaWalker's user interface responsive at all times.

Three-way Folder comparison and Synchronization

Three-way folder and automatic synchronization (Oro Edition only) is conceptually identical to three-way file comparison and merge, however it operates on folders. It scans the entire folder hierarchies performing three-way file comparison and merge on each file triplet.

Location Transparency

Built-in support for FTP, SFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, and WebDAV allows you to treat local and remote files and folders all the same.

Protocols like SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) often offer you the same power, security, and flexibility as if you were working with a local file system. Other protocols, like FTP, may present restrictions when copying, moving, or deleting files, or setting files' timestamps. Depending on the protocol and your network's performance you may not even notice you are working with remote resources as you'd have the full range and power of comparison and merge/synchronization operations at your disposal.

Your username and password are saved as part of your session and as part of the resource URIs so that they are available to you for later use. They, however, are discreetly omitted from the URI display strings in an effort to protect your privacy.

It's Your DeltaWalker

DeltaWalker takes personalization to a new level, with customization and assistance features that let you
modify its appearance and behavior to suit both your personal preferences and the specifics of the job at hand.

Attention to detail has been paid to all areas of DeltaWalker's user interface and its ability to transparently adapt to the way you work with it. From innovative idioms like local toolbars and menus used in the folder comparison window through state-of-the art graphic design and window animation, to the ability to customize anything from fonts and colors to tab positions and shortcut keys, DeltaWalker showcases a commitment to the highest standards of user interface design.

Customizable Print and Print Preview

Printing a file or a folder comparison in DeltaWalker is a click away. A scalable print preview lets you see exactly what's going to be printed and the page setup dialog allows you to fully customize and preview your headers and footers before printing.

Report Generation

DeltaWalker is capable of producing both file and folder comparison reports in HTML and XML formats. You can optionally create linked folder comparison reports which are folder comparison reports with links to individual file comparison reports. XML and HTML reports are a great way to create electronic snapshots of the differences b/n pairs of files or folders. Such snapshots can easily be stored and used to trace the change history of files of interest; they are also well suited for electronic exchange e.g. via email.
