pdf and other binary file comparison support

Does TC support pluging in other file comparison methods? It seems that the only file comparison methods available are insufficient for comparing binary files such as PDF or DOC files.

Only in "synchronize dirs" - you would need to write a special content plugin which implements the ContentCompareFiles function.

Not to make your life any harder Ghisler but would it be possible to add the plugin chooser in the file comparison tool as well? I believe it would be incredibly handy and hopefully will start seeing more file comparison plugins developed.

Unfortunately the ContentCompareFiles function can tell TC only whether a file is the same or different, it cannot do any line by line comparison.
