Recursive Folder Compare
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

When comparing two directories you can press the Recursive Compare button in the toolbar.  This will cause the selected directories to be compared a second time so that more information is provided regarding subdirectories found in the specified directories.

 

With the recursive option, the Status column will indicate the following regarding listed subdirectories:

 

Identical: indicates that the contents of this subdirectory are the same between both parent directories

 

Different: indicates there are differences between the contents of this subdirectory in the parent directories

 

Source Only: indicates that the subdirectory only exists in the Source (left) directory

 

Destination Only: indicates that the subdirectory only exists in the Destination (right) directory

 

If you wish, you may double click on a subdirectory folder.  This will open the selected subdirectory in both parent directories for compare.  You may press the Parent Directory button to navigate up one level through the directory structure.
