Dir comparison: Sorting by # diffs doesn't work

[Ulf Thorsen]

Hi!

I just upgraded to the latest version(*) and now I can't manage to sort a directory comparison by #diffs. All other columns can be sorted, but not this one (which, unfortunately, is the one I use the most). Any ideas why this happens?

And while I'm at it, I also wonder why #diffs is listed in both panes, as it belongs to the pair, not to one specific directory. Perhaps this is the reason why it can't be sorted?

(*) The previous version was about 10 years old, so I can't tell when it stopped working.

Yes, it appears to be a bug if parallel directory comparison is used (see Options | Directory Compare | Other | Use parallel full comparison). The fix will appear in the next build of 7.0.

Thanks!

Disabling "Use parallel full comparison" did the trick for me, and now it works as it used to. I mainly use ExamDiff to compare reasonably sized directories, so I don't need the parallel full comparison anyway.

Great tool, btw!
