Folder-Compare-Lite

All this Lite version does is say, after a Looooooong scan is that there are differences, but then when I manually review some of the data in flie explorer, some of those differences were just file modify dates (meaning when it was wrote to that folder). To actually see if folders were different I had to use a completely different app. The intent of a Lite version is to intice you into buying the full version... Yes Agreed, but given I had to use a competitor solution to actually understand the results of this app,..... I ended up just sticking with their product and upgrading to their full version. Also another massive issue with this app is that if you click anything, it suddenly ditches the existing result and starts its long re-scan all over again. For a Lite experience this was poor, and it turned me away from considering the full version very quickly.

This displays duplicate files but you can’t take any action on them from within the app (such as deleting the duplicates) For this to do you any good, you’ll need to upgrade to the paid version

This app requires another app, FileMerge, in order to actually tell you anything about the difference between the files. Otherwise, the error is simply, “These two files are different. They have different content.” and there is a button, “Compare with FileMerge…” But even when I have FileMerge (which is a tool in Xcode) installed, FileMerge fails to load the two files I’m trying to “diff”. I sent a report of the problem to Apple today. I will update this, if the problem is resolved... ,

No use / Nothing u get from this application. Don’t waste your time.

Highly recommended. Thanks for your good work. Very efficient, fast, effective program.

Tried this on two versions of Reprap firmware, all text files (.c. .h. .cpp). Mostly useless. Will compare files in folders, but doesn’t show WHAT is different. So can’t tell if what is different is one whitespace, or 99% of the whole file.

I was using it to compare two relatively large volumes. But 46GB of memory and 20GB of swap file usage later, I killed it. Waste of time.

This app worked fine for me, with the purchased app I noticed some of the reviews wrote that it took too long???? Too long as opposed to doing without the software help??? I havent purchased the Pro version yet but if I need more options Ill consider purchasing this type of software. And the colors arent a big issue with me, I would consider disallowing any reviews that give an app one star becasue of the colors and declare in the written….and I quote “euwhh”…really? The software worked fine for me.

it asks you to upgrade in order to show you the content of each file upgrade version is 4.99$

Doesn't allow you to copy anything or even look inside of sub-folders.
