Beyond Windows
Beyond Compare is the only remaining application on Windows which I have not been able to find a suitable alternative for on Mac OSX. Applications like File Compare really don’t come anywhere close to the functionality of Beyond Compare.
That might be about to change now that I have come across Changes (Leopard only). I haven’t tried out this application yet, but the screenshots look promising. I’ve often wondered why:
- Scooter Software didn’t choose to prioritise a Mac port of their fantastic product
- No one had built a suitable rival for this great app on OSX
- I hadn’t started to write a suitable rival app for OSX given points 1 and 2
Well hopefully I won’t even have to do 3, and Changes will be as awesome as Beyond Compare. I’ll post an update when I finally get a chance to put it through its paces.
