Marking new and inserted lines

[IzzyC]

Hi Folks,
I am a new Slick Edit user. I was formally a CodeWright orphan.

I am wondering if there is a way as I have not yet figered out how to turn on marking of lines that are inserted or edited. CodeWright had an option that would put a user defined color block at the beginning of lines that were inserted or lines that had been modified. I found it to be a useful feature and miss it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Izzy

Izzy,

I'm a CodeWright orphan, too. 

Under Tools - Options - Color, select Inserted Line & Modified Line.  Plenty of options in there to indicate them. 

SE is close, but not quite, a perfect replacement for CW.  You may learn, as I did, to take advantage of the things that work well and miss the other things less.  It really is very good.  Better, mostly.

Hi,

You can turn on color highlighting for modified lines per extension on the Advanced tab of Extension Options (Tools > Options > File Extension Setup).

This will show color in the margin for added and changed lines, since the last save.

You can also see changes made to files over multiple saves in SlickEdit using the Backup History tool window.

John, thanks that was what I neeeded.

Jim, you are correct SE is better than CW and you just have to get use to the things that are here and let go those that are not.

Thanks,
Izzy
