It seems that 1.9.8 version has trouble with "Follow symbolic links" option. I've got a few symlinks to folders (not Mac aliases though!) and these are always treated as folders (and so all the children tree is compared) regardless of the setting.

BTW. I would love to see hex-binary comparison window as an option of file comparison.

Excellent app. I contacted their support with a specific request, probably somewhat unique. Although their Oro (Gold) version would have done the job easier (I only have the Standard license), support walked me through a way to do what I needed. Great job!

You should consider FileMerge from the dev tools who come with our Macs. There is a link : http://bit.ly/qWneGt

I've been using DeltaWalker for at least three years now, and have yet to find another Diff/Merge tool that approaches the power and ease of use of this app on OS X. Indispensable for developers who find themselves needing to refer back to earlier versions of files, etc. When combined with a good version-control system (command line Git or the capable CornerStone subversion client, for instance), it makes managing changes a breeze.

I've searched for a truly SMART duplicate finder for quite some time that would be able to discern from duplicate names as well as find duplicate file content with different file names. Searching the web, the Mac App Store and anywhere I could look... I found Deltopia's DeltaWalker and was totally beside myself at how AWESOME DeltaWalker works! I haven't been able to find a comparable duplicate file and folder finder, manger, merger, organizer... It's so much more than a duplicate comparison utility. The visual layout of the results are truly, very, very clear and well-defined, in a way that makes decisions to resolve the differences very easy. I love DeltaWalker. There's nothing quite like it around for the price and features. The ability to just step-up to DeltaWalker Oro is one you would not regret. 3-way comparisons allows an amazing way to resolve multiple location duplicate and/or modified files. For resolving duplicates in multiple locations, consolidating files, reorganizing my files, DeltaWalker is the most important utility I have installed on my Mac!

Araxis has done this (duplicate finder able to discern from duplicate names as well as find duplicate file content with different file names) for years with Find Duplicate Files.

Of course, Araxis Merge is more comparable with Delta Walker, but much more expensive. Plus Araxis Merge integrates nicely with Araxis Find Duplicate Files. While DeltaWalker is cheaper, I find Araxis' products to be superior.

I like this product, and recommended it to some of my coworkers. One of the features I was excited to see was comparison of local directories and remote directories. That's a cool thing, as we have a server that has a config directory with lots of files and folders in it, with only a few changes needed for any particular release. Replacing the entire config directory is not practical.
DeltaWalker will not connect to the remote server using SFTP, a Solaris box. I can connect to that server with standard ssh connections, and any of several FTP/SFTP tools I have.
I did raise this issue with Deltopia, and they were quick to respond and eager to help. They wanted to test with our server. I could not give them access to our internal server, for various reasons. The problem was never resolved because I did not, and still do not, have time to chase it down.
So, it's a nice product, but one of the key reasons for my use does not work.

I was just about to buy this, and then I thought I would check to see if it would compare, say, a .docx against an iWork Pages file...

It appears that DeltaWalker doesn't support Apple's Pages at all.

Nowhere does the documentation address this, nor can I even find it DeltaWalker can compare two files of different formats.

Anyone know?

Different formats may work if it's minor, transparent differences, say a Markdown and a HTML version of the same text.
It's definitely the problem of the obscure/convenient text formats. Try and have a look inside a 'plain, simple' rtf document - it's chockfull with obstacles for a character-wise comparison.

So, no: no chance for a comparison of overly complex text documents across formats.

Dasein888, I answered your question at the time you contacted us; for the benefit of others reading this post, here it is in nutshell:
As described in the DeltaWalker help and on our web site, DeltaWalker currently can extract and compare text from all main Office document types - Word, Excel, PowerPoint as well as Adobe PDF documents. iWork Pages and RTF formats are currently not supported in that way, i.e. they can still be compared, however their markup will be shown as Thyx observed.
One can mix and match any of the supported formats as one pleases i.e. one can load a Word document in one of the editors and a PDF or an Excel document in the other and they'll be compared as text.
It is correct that neither the help nor the web site lists the non-supported formats - I hope you would agree that attempting to do so can easily become impractical.

Great soft. Very responsive support from developer. That last version is the fast and stable one i was waiting for.

I use it mainly to maintain synchronized my own files created on 2 different startup partitions. Deltawalker is more easy to use and faster than Tri-Backup i am [was] also using.

More features like "users templates" for specific folders and/or files synchronization would be nice. Something like MacOS X intelligent folders.

Looking forward to more cool features ;)
