S sorex Expert Licensed User Longtime User Sep 30, 2016 #3 total commander as main tool (also has visual diff on text/binary files and folder diff/sync built-in by the way ) notepad2Mod based on the notepad2 by Flo but with codefolding and autocomplete of anything already in the document is set as Total Commander editor. As it's extremely lightweight and doesn't require an install it's ideal to put on servers aswell. B4J to generate editors, custom data formats, data packers etc

wonder Expert Licensed User Longtime User Sep 30, 2016 #8 It's nice to have an online backup, especially when you invested hundreds of hours of work. I'm currently using gitlab.com, I'm happy with it so far... How about diff tools to compare source codes? Any?

wonder Expert Licensed User Longtime User Sep 30, 2016 #10 Once you try it, it will stick with you! http://meldmerge.org/ It helps you compare (and edit) side-by-side the changes you made to your source code. For example: - You had a stable version last Monday and yesterday you decided to upgrade your collision detection and while you were at it, you decided to rewrite the game logic from single-threaded into multi-threaded. The collision detection thing went well, but you broke the game and now it doesn't even launch anymore. - Your last backup was made before those two changes. - You want to keep the new collision detection, but get rid of the multi-threaded changes to the code. - Meld will help you selectively remove the unwanted changes by comparing the current version against its backup, line-by-line.

wonder Expert Licensed User Longtime User Sep 30, 2016 #12 No, Meld just compares. For backup purposes you can use a git repository. I use gitlab and just to be safe, I also zip my entire project and store it in the Dropbox. Git is hard to learn, but it does allow you a lot of control over your workflow...

thedesolatesoul Expert Licensed User Longtime User Sep 30, 2016 #14 Beyond Compare is great but not free. WinMerge was good too. To nitpick, you should separate VCS from Online repos. I've used git and gitlab (for private stuff) and github (for public stuff). Altassian's SourceTree is a decent git tool, but i wasnt at home with it. Trello is good as a kanban board. BitReplica for backups. Cant remember what else but developing on windows is a pain. Development on linux is much easier.

Click to expand... as mentioned in my first post I use total commander for it. just select one file in the left pane, the other in the right and then files > compare by content. for folder structures you just use Commands > Sync dirs and you get some options screen. Maybe not all the best but still easier and faster in handling than installing a dozen apps to get the same result. Edit: the power of the tool above is knowing it's shortcuts and only using the keyboard. (easy for the Norton/Volkov/Star Commander users since it's all based on NC) if I don't forget I do a file > export to zip after a new published version and store it in the project subfolder name published that hods subdirs like 1.37 with the apk & zip in it. this is all in a dropbox folder so auto synced to the computers where I work on, at home there's still a seperate auto backup done with SyncBack of this and other data to an USB disk.

JakeBullet70 Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 30, 2016 #17 aaaahhhhh. for b4x playing Beyond Compare - It costs but is the Mercedes Benz of compare tools. Worth the money Notepad++ - Nice! Snagit. - again, It costs but is the Mercedes Benz of screen capture, screen recording. Worth the money Git, Gitlab using git tortoise, FREE! FastKeys - http://fastkeys.vze.com/ - A Great GUI for https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/ SyncBack - http://www.2brightsparks.com/freeware/freeware-hub.html, I run in 2 modes, mirror and just backup to a local server. FREE!!! SQliteStudio - http://sqlitestudio.pl/ WOW!!! FREE!!! My job is .NET and that is another story. I miss XTree... But, Knowing the command line is a MUST for tools.
