this is an oddball issue but i seem to remember it being his way awhile
when a new skin comes out, i clone it into a new name
then try to do a template compare to the old skin, wether i use the default or the 'custom' it shows the default code
the only way i can possibly use the compare tool is to make 2 clones
1 of the mew version
and 1 of my customized version of the older version then compare
shouldnt i just be able to compare to the custom templates from the old customized clone without having to make a fresh new clone of it to compare to?

I've just tried what you outlined and I don't see an issue here - I can select the original skin I cloned from (in this case Elastic) and compare with the cloned one.

Can you outline the exact steps and skins so I can test here?

Thanks!

ok
clone an older version on ningja
edit the 404 template
make it active
install new version
clone it to new name
in new version do template compare to cloned old version both the default and the 1 marked custom notice that both show the default code not the custom code
then clone the customized old version to a new 1 called old r something
compare to that and you see your customizattions

OK have done exactly this and it is working. Make sure in the upper right dropdown of the Template Compare that you choose "OldClone - 404.tpl (custom)" - otherwise it will compare it to the template on disk.

Sorry - false alarm :) It's working here BUT the selector is showing the wrong skin when you select it (for me it is defaulting the first skin and NOT the one I have selected) - however, the compare is correct.
