comparing files with TABs
When I compare files by content and there are TABs in them, each TAB is expanded to 8 spaces. With multiple TABs that mean all the actual text is way off the screen to the right. Could this be changed to TAB = 1 or 2 spaces? Or turn it into a setting?
YEP !

• I support as an INI entry prior, like I showed in your OTHER THREAD.
- It seems it's too late for a GUI option, because it needs translations,
moreover the dialogue-box is full to bursting, it should need a redesign…

Hello !
• I checked here with 5 as the TAB width in Lister, that doesn't work, i.e. I've 10 pixels
(8 default+2 as normal letters spacing) while I would get 7 pixels…
- I made a screen-shot >> Blown up ×16 with a 1-pixel grid mesh…
- Same in Lister and Compare with 7.5 ß-6

• The font used in my tests is Dina, so a fixed font…
- Please, see THIS IMAGE (×16) where the blue "5 pixels" are the setting for one tab,
while the spacing is at least too wide by 1 pixel (red¦cream hatched).

Re: comparing files with TABs
After so many years Lister's parameter TabWidth could not make it into Options dialog.
But help file easily could mention that this same setting also affects "Compare by Content" tool.
Currently help line in [Lister] section tells only this:

Code: Select all
