FYI: in the last beta, in win2000 the starting dialog, beside not having icons in the bottom buttons ("compare", "Cancel", "Options", "Swap" and "Exit" (I don't care)), has the "First" and "Second" combo that look empty, but the c...
Well, it is more a matter of philosophy than a bug or a glitch. I often compare two disks: the main one (C:) and the backup one (D:). I started wondering because I discovered I had many subdirs in D: that don't exist on C: (anymore) but I don't see them in EDP. The fix is easy: change the "excl...
Yes, I know, and indeed that option is set.
That's exactly why I say it could be incorrect.
Those subdir aren't empty, but at the same time they officially contain nothing useful so they simply disappear.
Well, ok. To begin with: it's not the "ignores" but the "Excludes". "Directory compare->Filters->Exclude" If I exclude the Thumbs.db from the comparison and the subdirectory doesn't contain anything else, if in the other pane directory that subdir isn't present at all, ...
Comparing a couple of directory trees with some ignores (in my case: Thumbs.db), if a tree has one branch with some leaf directories with only ignored files (i.e. Thumbs.db) and the other tree doesn't have those directories, then those directories simply doesn't appear at all in any pane. I'm intrig...
"Do not compare files larger than xxx" is good, but what about an option to switch automatically to a "raw comparison only" above a threshold? Often I'm just trying to know if the files are identical (in a binary sense) or not. (I mean something like what appens when the files ar...
Sorry but it seems that the toolbar lock doesn't work.
I tried locking it with right mouse->lock but, even if "lock" is checked, the double click makes the toolbar floating.
When "pruning" a long branch, the following dialog appears: The following directories have become empty as a result of file deletion. Do you want to delete them? Then follows the list of the directories to be removed. I've seen that, if the list is too long, a scroll bar appears and the di...
I find more immediate to scan the differences using the mouse on the toolbar. Sometimes, when clicking "fast", it happens that the mouse slides slightly out of the button and the toolbar switches to "float" mode. Not a big problem: a double click on the toolbar heading and, pront...
