Hello Liviu, My use of Compare is fairly frequent. Document is the User Manual for an operating system which may be changed/updated several times a year, then released in html and pdf.
Manual is written in Lyx. My task is producing the pdf and because of aspect ratio differences between images in html on a screen and in pdf for possible printing, we have a separate Lyx master for pdf conversion. Compare is used to update this master. Compare is excellent for finding changes, including minor punctuation and in hyperlinks. Twice I have had the same problem as Bert where the synchronisation between documents is lost and Compare thinks that every character has changed. Regards, Gordon.

What was the interest for this particular Compare? Did you want to see/edit changes within LyX, or simply to visualize differences between files. If it is the latter, then one approach that could help would be to use an intermediary file.
