DeltaWalker Oro for Mac

Another fantastic application that deserves recognition. DeltaWalker helps ensuring that the contents of your files are the same, pick the files you want to compare via drag and drop or select from within DW and DW performs a colored comparison, brilliant. Your can also compare folders to compare and if they aren't DeltaWalker can easily fix the problem any way you like, from the referenced folder or the modified or even update both folders. I use it mostly for comparing my important backup folders for any files my backup utility Carbon Cloner has missed. Which it has never missed a file in all these years without prompting me of the error. It is just an extra step an anal person such as myself does to be sure that nothing gets missed. If I had one complaint it would be that Java is necessary to run DeltaWalker but for me it is well worth installing Java for the use of DeltaWalker. It also allows it to run on any supported OS, if you purchase the proper license.

Groan - this is yet another download from MacUpdate that contains the macupdate desktop program and you can only install the deltawalker update via that program. If you don't want this crud on your computer you'll need to go to the developer's site and get the update there yourself.

Might want to stay away from the 2.2 update, reasons: - This binary is not codesigned, nor are there any "extras" (Open in DeltaWalker). - It now asks for JRE? What? Yeah, I have a mail into Deltopia. We'll see what they say. 4 stars otherwise.

I downloaded and used this product on Mac 10.6.8 with ease. Thank you to the developers!

Still a huge fan of DeltaWalker, and this developer stays hard at work to add whatever "spit and polish" is needed to make the application the best in its class. DeltaWalker has helped me countless times at work and I've used it while sharing out videos using 2 or 3 way comparisons when the problem "must be on my end". Using this app, I've taken the guess-work out of what happened over the course of X, whether it be minutes, days, months, years. As an example, we had a client that was having some cisco config issues and the problem was very niche in nature. A 3rd party company was convinced that the issue was because of a config change on my side, somehow. Going through analyzing the configs (they can get pretty long) I illustrated a 3-way comparison on when the devices on the network were working, as well as when they weren't working, using 3 separate configs that we automatically backup. DeltaWalker proved beyond any doubt, that there was nothing that had changed on my end between the 3 configs that would cause such behavior. So we had the advantages of: a stable product, ease of use to make our case, dead-simple illustration in how the data was presented to the 3rd party company, easy-to-understand legend of what was different from all 3 files, and confidence that we had covered all of our bases. The time saved by using DW paid for itself (I can guarantee you) 10 times over, at least. Time is money - and we had a total of 3 contractors involved in this particular incident.
