File compare from a root image A before split branches.

Post by pierrelabreche »

I would like to open the image compare transformation on an image, from which two derived images are created in different branches after a splitter.

Currently, PWP does not allow to select images in the split branches when the comparison is launched from an image in the trunk above the split.

I would like to quickly compare the base image with variants after the split.

To do this you need to place the compare transformation after one of the variants to set Image A and compare it to the one it was derived from by selecting it as Image B.

Another way is to use the Copy transformation to create a new top level image that is a copy of the base image and then insert a Compare transformation after the Copy to compare the base image to one of the variants.

It would be nice if these extra steps were not required.
