To compare a folder either right click a folder and select "Compare With Folder" or navigate into a folder click the View Options button and select "Compare".
When in Comparison Mode, right click a file to bring up the menu:
- View Both: Bring up both files in a side by side preview to compare their contents.
- Copy to: Copy the current file to the other compared folder.
- Rename: You can choose to rename the file or both files.
- Delete: You can choose to delete the file or both files.
Grey: Same Folder name.
Purple: Same File name only.
Blue: Same File name and File Size (and Date if the "Dates Must Match" setting is turned on).
Comparison Settings
Date Must Match: If this is checked, then Blue items match all 3 requirements, Name, Size and Date.
Auto Scroll: This scrolls both directories when you scroll either side.
Advanced Subfolder Controls: Click the chevrons to expand subfolders whilst in Comparison Mode.
