Is it possible to hide the DotPeek-created comments when exporting projects?
I dropped a backup of an assembly into DotPeek and exported it to a VS project. I then did the same for a new version of the same dll. I use my diff'ing tool, BeyondCompare, to compare the exported directories. I can see my code differences but I also get these comments inserted by DotPeek. These are kind of raising false-positives. BeyondCompare lets me turn off minor differences but I'd rather not. See below for a sample comment block at the top of a file that DotPeek creates during the export process:
// Decompiled with JetBrains decompiler
// Type: planBL.planClaim
// Assembly: planBL, Version=1.0.6537.27148, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
// MVID: AF7ACC60-EF0B-4F42-BBE2-256E6668C8D8
// Assembly location: C:\Temp\Bin1\planBL.dll
Naturally, every file has a different GUID for example. Is it it possible to configure DotPeek so that it doesn't generate these comment blocks? I can't find anything but it would be useful. I can find the files I made code changes to but the inserted comment block are getting in the way so to speak. Short of writing a small app to strip them out I'd like to know if they can be optionally removed when DotPeek exports projects. Is it possible?

i have exactly the same problem!
possible or not ?
That's not sufficient. Please let us remove at least the GUID from the comments. Keep the dotpeek advertisement, if you must.
Hello there!
It is not possible to hide dotPeek created comments for export.
However, I'm happy to announce that comparing assemblies feature s available in dotPeek and R# from the version 2023.2. It is also possible to compare NuGet packages, folders, and
.zip
files starting the version 2023.3.Feel free to try it out!
