I am trying to compare two large Visual Studio 2010 solutions using Beyond Compare. These solutions have 60 projects, the only way I can find to ignore differences in the bin and obj folders of each project is by right-clicking these in the compare results window. I don't want to have to do this 60 times, so is there any other way I can tell Beyond Compare to ignore these folders in each solution?
This is for version 3,
While you are comparing two folders you can go the menu Session->Session settings and go to the tab named Name Filters. There are several boxes to include or exclude files or folders; locate the one on the bottom right and on each line you can declare the folders that you want to exclude. There is an important combo box on the lower left corner where you can specify if you are going to use this settings for just this time or to use them everytime.
Another way to do this is simple look for the File Filters Toolbar (the one with a combo box and a pair of icons with a pair of glasses), in this combo box you can set your filter, for example -bin\;-obj\ and this will exclude the bin and obj folders.
I know this is old, but I came here looking for the same info for version 4.
Version 4 supports the same functionality but expose on the top toolbar in the session, just add the same -bin\;-obj\ in the "Filters:" text box:

My first question in Stackoverflow, I'm thinking in making a litle program to edit some folder icons on Windows, I searched for the meaning of the number after the path of the icon but find no answer, the system icons have diferent values, i.e:
Music Folder
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-108
Pictures Folder
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-113
When we manually change an icon from a folder,usually is used(to keep it in a removable media):
IconResource=..\Icons\icon.ico,0
There is any influence in that last number? Or it doesn't matter for that purpose?
.EXE and .DLL files can contain more than one icon. ,0 is the first icon in the file, this syntax can also be used for .ICO files that only contain one icon.
Positive numbers simply refer to the order the icons are stored in the executable file (,0 is the first, ,1 is the second and ,2 is the third etc.). This order is the same as the order of icons in the standard pick icon dialog in Windows (shortcut properties etc.).
A negative number is the resource id of the icon, this is a number chosen by the author of said executable and can be stable over time even if the number if icons changes if the author chooses to use stable resource ids.

Is it possible to sort the folders in the sidebar in a way, that shows capitalized folders on the top?
The folders are shown in the order they are listed in the project. You can rearrange them as you see fit. Nothing built in, but you write a script to modify the sublime-project files so they look like what you want.
I'm using Xcode 5, and want to find a word (ex:variable name) not by substring match but by exact match (or prefix match). In file wide search (Command-F), I can use Textual search or regular expression search by clicking the arrow button just right of the glass icon and choosing "Edit Find Options...".
But, I cannot find any option to search on project wide search ("Find in Project", Shift-Command-F), in Xcode 5.
One thing I can do is run "grep -w" on Terminal.app. But, isn't there any way to search word in Project inside Xcode?
Well it seems that the search tool in Xcode 5 is a bit confusing for a lot of people. In my opinion Apple should have done a better work letting the user know of what is clickable and what not... That being said, here is how you access the different options:
Once we switch to the Find Navigator we see 3 components (Find>Text>Containing)
Now, you can click on any of them to select between different options (à la jumpbar)
And finally you can also click the In Workspace (or In Project) to change the scope of your search
In Xcode 6 the problem I was having was that my Framework folder wasn't being searched, even though it was clearly part of the project (but in /Library/Frameworks), and even when I had one of its files open with the string showing in the editor.
Changing the scope from In Project to My Scope (as shown) even allowed me to find the search string in non-frameworks folders.
Silly questions... purely aesthetic... given the picture above. How do you move the values up/down? For example, State belongs grouped with Height/Width/Top/Left (Window Position + state).
Not the only project where I later add stuff and it slowly gets out of order. Can delete/re-add, but that gets tedious and error prone. Can just leave it as is, but it's a minor annoyance.
Am I totally not seeting the setting somewhere to move the stuff around, because I've looked and I just don't see it.
Close the solution. Open the project's Properties\Settings.settings file and re-arrange the <Setting> items. You'll get them back listed in the Settings Designer in the order in which they are listed in that file.
As the other answers indicate you need to edit the sequence of the entries in the Properties\Settings.settings file. You do not need to close VS, just close the Properties tab if it is open.
Also this will not re-arrange the XML entries in you .config file. For that you need to re-arrange the entries in your app.config file, that is created in your root project folder.
Both files are simple XML based files.
You can't move things around in that screen. It's loaded and saved by the "natural" order. Meaning that new things are placed at the bottom.
Often, when I am reading code or debugging, I want the ability to quickly jump around files. I especially want to "go back" to where I was. I know about "Command+T", "Command+Shift+T", and, bookmarks. But, I cannot figure out a way to jump around files quickly.
UPDATE: I do not think I my question was clear enough judging by two answers given. Specifically, I am looking for a way to "jump back" to where I was in a file. I know how to navigate in TextMate (in general). I want to know if TextMate has a "jump back" key binding.
It's subtle.
The command-T thing has the files listed in Most Recently Used order.
So, you can go command-T return to get back to your last file real quick. At first I couldn't find it either.
I don't think there's a go to last edit location as there is in, say, IDEA/RubyMine.

2.3 Moving Between Files (With Grace)
When working with projects there are a few ways to move between the open files.
The most straightforward way is by clicking on the file tab you need. This can also be done from the keyboard by pressing ⌘1-9, which will switch to file tab 1-9.
You can also use ⌥⌘← and ⌥⌘→ to select the file tab to the left or right of the current one.
It is possible to re-arrange the file tabs by using the mouse to drag-sort them (click and hold the mouse button on a tab and then drag it to the new location). This should make it possible to arrange them so that keyboard switching is more natural.
One more key is ⌥⌘↑ which cycles through text files with the same base name as the current file. This is mainly useful when working with languages which have an interface file (header) and implementation file (source).
When you want to move to a file which is not open you can use the Go to File… action in the Navigation menu (bound to ⌘T). This opens a window like the one shown below.
Go To File
This window lists all text files in the project sorted by last use, which means pressing return will open (or go to) the last file you worked on. So using it this way makes for easy switching to the most recently used file.
You can enter a filter string to narrow down the number of files shown. This filter string is matched against the filenames as an abbreviation and the files are sorted according to how well they match the given abbreviation. For example in the picture above the filter string is otv and TextMate determines that OakTextView.h is the best match for that (by placing it at the top).
The file I want is OakTextView.mm which ranks as #2. But since I have already corrected it in the past, TextMate has learned that this is the match that should go together with the otv filter string, i.e. it is adaptive and learns from your usage patterns.
If you have a project window open, you can leave frequently-accessed files open (in tabs), and then use ⌘+1-9 to jump to open tabs.
