Argh! I was trying to simulate a the situation that does not delete temp files, without success. Every time, the files were replaced my newer ones, during each new comparison :?
Unfortunatelly, I deleted old files, only a set of files remains in my temp, and I guess that DC run out of space and crashed that time, because all of them have the same time, and that seems to be a full database compare. The names are in groups: RGDC-guid, RGDC-guid.idx, RGDC-guid.1.idx, RGDC-guid.2.idx, RGDC-guid.D.idx and RGDC-guid.S.idx, where guid is a random hex string with some dashes, one for each compared table.

Vitoco, I'm not sure I understand your request - where would you like to be able to set/modify the project comment?
Sometimes I get unexpected behaviour when I go to the Comparison Projects window, so I avoid to go there while working with a project. Then, It would be nice to acces the comment field from within the project, may be in the Options tab from the Project Configuration Window.
It would also be nice if I could save a project without actually running it, just loading the database's schemas and setting which tables to compare the next time I open that project. I suggest a pair of "Save Changes" and "(Re)Compare Now" buttons instead of a single "Done" or "Compare Now" button when editing a project. "Cancel" button is fine ;-)
A last request: a "Save Script..." button directly in the synchronization wizard window. This way, we won't have to go to the SQL Script window just to press the "Save..." button. This also applies to SQL Compare!
Thanks a lot...

The above is almost the same scenario I had: one master database and some development and testing databases. I had to synchronize some data from the master to the rest of the databases, using the project related to the tables that changed.
BTW, some times appears the same project many times in the list, which I can recognize by it's comment. I guess that this is also related to the fact that I have selected another database just to see if there is any change in some data before closing the project or selecting another one. ¿Is it possible to set/modify the comment from within a project?

I noticed that Temp folder in my Local settings is full of binary data left by Data Compare. Most of the files are named RGDC-<guid> and its idx.
It seems to be happening since I upgraded to version 5 months ago.
¿Should these files be deleted when DC is closed? ¿Is there a way to get rid of them?
Thanks...

If this helps, my box uses a Spanish version of WinXP, with .NET 1.1 and some dev tools. I like Classic theme but customized it a bit using it´s properties window. Need more info? ++V / comments

GUI issue
I just upgraded to 5.3.0.68 and the following "bug" appeared:
When I open a project and select the "Tables & Views" tab, some buttons are disabled while retrieving schemas, and enabled again to let...
I have the same database on multiple servers, and I need to transfer data from some tables between them when then get updated in the master database. The first time, I selected only the usual group of tables and performed the syncronization from server A to B. To do the same data transfer between A and C, I decided to clone the project.
I noticed that when I changed the destination database server from the clone, Data Compare saved this new project on disk with a name similar to the original project (with the original destination database server name), so when re-opening it, Data Compare opens the wrong one, displaying the original parameters.
My workaround was:
- locate the clone in disk (using that option) after the comparison and before closing the project
- close the cloned project
- (optional) open the file to check that the xml references the right databases
- rename the file, changing the proper server.database name
- restart SQL Data Compare to refresh the comparison projects
- open the cloned project and check for my group of tables
I just upgraded to 5.3 and this bug persists [image]
