The directory comparison result is presented using two tree-like structures, showing
files and folders names, size and modification date.
A column holding graphic symbols separate the two
tree-like structures. The graphic symbols can be:
- an "X" sign, when a file or a folder exists only in one of the compared
directories;
- a "not-equal" sign, if a file exists in both directories, but the content is different.
The same sign appears when a collapsed folder contains modified files.
The color used for painting the sign and the directory or file name can be customized in
the
Directories Comparison /
Appearance preferences page. You can double-click the line marked with the
"not-equal" sign to open a new
File Content Comparison window, showing
the differences between the two files.
