Can you check the session settings (In the menu under Settings -> Session Settings) if you compare also the line endings?

enter image description here You find the flag on the botton of the options.

If you need a pre-check in folder compare you can use the following settings:

enter image description here (See the different filesize 18 to 19 Byte - The difference is the LF)

You need the overwrite quick test results. Without this the other checks return already a result. With this, your comparison will need more time.

  • No, I made my first correction under time pressure and without attention. I hope I have it now. – knut Jun 20 '17 at 19:17
  • @knut on BeyondCompare 4, more specifically on session settings, I do not see that "Importance" tab, even though it should appear ([as it shows here](https://www.scootersoftware.com/v4help/index.html?sessiontext.html)). – Gonçalo Peres Feb 24 '22 at 19:30
  • @GonçaloPeres Are you in the settings for the file compare? In Folder compare the flag is missing. You see it in the title of "Session Settings - " – knut Feb 25 '22 at 11:23
  • @knut no, and that was the reason. I was in Folder Compare. Just tested with file compare and was able to see the "Importance" tab. – Gonçalo Peres Feb 25 '22 at 13:58
