DeltaWalker is a strong analysis tool in the hands of scientists, researchers, and engineers when comparing text outputs and results of different experiments-it saves time, eliminates guessing, and minimizes errors.
Language translators rely on it when working with side-by-side folders containing different language versions of the same text.
Comparing and Merging Files:
DeltaWalker lets you compare just about any set of text files - plain text, program source code, XML, HTML, as well as compressed files-BZ2, EAR, GZ, JAR, TAR, TBZ2, TGZ and ZIP.
Load, or paste them, and enjoy the view. And don't worry if you accidentally attempted loading folders instead of files into the editors-DeltaWalker would correctly recognize their types and simply open them as you intended - as folders in a folder comparison window.
Contextual merge buttons, strong in-place editing, automatic re-comparison in the background, unlimited undo/redo all work together to bring you easy and intuitive file merging functionality.
Comparing and Synchronizing Folders:
Folders are compared side-by-side and visualized in a way consitent with Finder. Identical files and folders are shown dimmed, bringing focus to the actual, color-coded differences.
Folder and File comparison in DeltaWalker are ergonomically integrated. Double-clicking a pair of files in a folder comparison window opens them in a file comparison window just below the folder comparison.
DeltaWalker Oro offers three-way folder comparison.
Synchronizing folders is powered by a flexible set of selection options and copy/move/delete operations. All operations execute on dedicated threads, keeping DeltaWalker's user interface responsive at all times.
Automatic three-way file merging (Oro Edition only) of non-conflicting differences allows you to merge even the largest files in seconds - a particularly convenient feature when working on versions of files modified by two different people. Conflicting lines of text, should they be found, are clearly highlighted and brought to your attention for resolution.
Location Transparency:
Built-in support for (S)FTP, HTTP(S), and WebDAV allows you to treat local and remote files and folders all the same.
Protocols like SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) often offer you the same power, security, and flexibility as if you were working with a local file system. Other protocols, like FTP, may present restrictions when copying, moving, or deleting files, or setting files' timestamps. Depending on the protocol and your network's performance you may not even notice you are working with remote resources as you'd have the full range and power of comparison and merge/synchronization operations at your disposal. For instance you can open a local file, modify it and save it remotely via (S)FTP or WebDAV.
Your username and password are saved in history as part of the resource URIs so that they are available to you for later use. Username and password are discreetly omitted from the URI display strings, in an effort to protect your privacy.
It's Your DeltaWalker:
DeltaWalker takes personalization to a new level, with customization and assistance features that let you
modify its appearence and behavior to suit both your personal preferences and the specics of the job at hand.
Attention to detail has been paid to all areas of DeltaWalker's user interface and its capability to transparently adapt to the way you work with it. From innovative idioms like local toolbars and menus used in the folder comparison window through state-of-the art graphic design and window animation, to the capability to customize anything from fonts and colors to tab positions and shortcut keys, DeltaWalker showcases a commitment to the highest standards of good user interface design.
Customizable Print and Print Preview:
Printing a file or a folder comparison in DeltaWalker is a click away. A scalable print preview lets you see exactly what's going to be printed and the page setup dialog allows you to fully customize and preview your headers and footers before printing.
Report Generation:

You can optionally create linked folder comparison reports which are folder comparison reports with links to individual file comparison reports.
