Yes - good point. Feature only available in ExamDiff pro !!

You can copy from ExamDiff display (without opening files).

Examdiff is handy because you can easily open one or both files and ExamDiff will pick up any saved changes and recompare.

Interesting - must be that TFC handles "big" differences better.

I just compared comparing 2 files with 900,000 lines with only 2 differences (first and last line) and both applications loaded in about the same time.

A good feature of ExamDiff is that you toggle between only changed lines.
This can often give you a good "feel" about what changes there are in a file.
