I'm curious what tips, tricks, and hacks users have found to make the TC tool work with Gk texts.

Here's Jude 1-5 with the NA28, TR, and Scrivener. Note that the tool shows 100% difference in each verse from the base text even when there are almost no (or are no) differences. 

How do you work around these limitations? 

Does the Logos crew know about these limitations and how much they wreck what would otherwise be a great feature in the software?

    The "Ignore Case", "Ignore Marks" and "Ignore Punctuation" options in the panel menu should let you set this up the way you want.

    I didn't have Doc's mass blue (and had all my 'Ignores' checked.  So, I unchecked them, and still didn't get Doc's results.  Then I noticed I was using NA28-GBS.  Maybe I got lucky.

    LOL, yes, it does.

    The sad part is, for fourteen years I haven't been able to use this like I needed because of a setting of which I wasn't aware. [:(]
