The module that compares directories and files supports 2 views:
- Directories and Files
- Files Summary
This view has the usual side by side view of folders and files being highlighted when they have been added, deleted, or changed in the right view when compared to the left view. You can double click each directory to browse into the directory structure or use the arrow up button in the toolbar to browse back up in the structure.
This view shows only files that have been deleted, inserted, or changed in the right view when compared to the left view. You can use the tooltip or context menu entries to see the actual path of each file or open it in the Explorer etc.
