Re-enable the selected files are identical" message in winmerge

1

When two identical files are compared in winmerge the message "the selected files are identical" has a check box "don't display this message again".

Is there away to reset this setting back once it is enabled ?

To restore the default settings, uninstall and re-install WinMerge.

There is no such option in the program's settings under the menu Edit > Options...

You can write about this lack in WinMerge Support.

I have WinMerge 2.16 here and option has not been added. Did you check in the the Compare window for this option – John – 2020-01-25T12:40:15.010

I did that and after the windows restart, the setting is enabled back – thanos.a – 2020-01-25T12:40:34.720

@john I have checked it in 2.16.4.0 and it doesn't exist – thanos.a – 2020-01-25T12:42:12.167
