Updated files list?

    When MailPoet is updated would it be possible to list changed files, or list unchanged ones if fewer? I ask because I have customised a few files where the change doesn’t seem possible to accomplish in functions.php.

    If I knew these customised files were unchanged (as in the recent update) without comparing them myself, then it would be simpler to upload my changes.

    You could use something like a Directory Diff via WinMerge to identify which files are different.

    Of course, if you NEED to modify a plugin’s files, be sure to comment in detail. I’m also sure to include a uniform string like ‘{my-name}-modified’ so I can easily search for custom hacks.

    Perhaps I should explain. I have customised 3 files which will be overwritten by an update. I know precisely which files they are and what modifications I have made.

    1. If the 3 updated files have not been changed then I can overwrite the new files with my modified version
    2. If the 3 updated files have been changed then I need to look carefully to see if my modifications still apply or need changing.

    I’m suggesting that you use a tool such as WinMerge to easily tell if (and how!) these 3 files changed.

    Hi Stevem,

    Unfortunately, there is no way to do that by default in MailPoet, but Jason gave you an awesome tip (thanks, Jason).

    Running a Diff in your folder will show you the differences in the files.
