• Ignored names is a space-delimited list of names. If a file or folder matches any of these names, it will not be shown.

Folder differ

The folder differ compares two folders.

• Green means the files are the same.
• Red means the files are different.
• Blue means the files exist on only one side (they were added).
  • Grey is the color used for children of Blue folders. It indicates that these files are beyond the edge of the diff.
• Orange represents files which are the same at this level, but contain children with Blue or Red elements.

As you expand or collapse folders, they will also expand or collapse on the other side. Double-clicking a file will open a diff (or a viewer if the file doesn’t have a partner on the other side).

• Ignored names is a space-delimited list of names. If a file or folder matches any of these names, it will not be shown.
• Matching condition is used to pair files up.
  • Same name required means that only files whose names are exactly equal will be matched.
  • Match the closest names means that files with similar names will be matched.
• Equality condition is used to determine how thorough the comparison is. The top options are the fastest to compute, but they can be inaccurate. The lower options are more accurate, but they take longer to compute.
  • Assume equality is very fast. Every pair of files is assumed to be equal.
  • Files with the same size are presumed equal is also very fast. If two files have the exact same size, it is presumed that they are equal.
  • Check file contents only if ‘Last Modified’ doesn’t match can be fast or slow. If two files have the exact same size and timestamp, it is presumed that they are equal. If the sizes match but the timestamps do not, then the files will be compared byte-by-byte to ensure equality.
  • Always check file contents is the most accurate option, but is very slow. Files are always checked against each other byte-by-byte to ensure equality.
