How to compare subfolders?

[Cobras]

I tried Mark > Compare Directories. It only compare files between two subfolders. How can I include subfolders for comparison? I use Windows 7. Cobras

I think you need Commands - Synchronize Dirs...

Mark - Compare Directories performs quick compare according by file presence and dates.

Cobras,
cm_CompareDirsWithSubdirs perhaps?

It's perfect. It worked nicely. Thanks.

cm_CompareDirsWithSubdirs only marks directories which do not exist on the other side! I doesn't look in directories which exist on both sides to find out whether their content differs. You will need "Synchronize dirs" for that, as MVV suggested.

Hello

The Sync/compare menu doesnt compare the content of the subdirs.
Can we get this functions please?

I did however tried "Compare Directories" (Shift+F2), and it almost worked ok, except that it also marked files which were newer.

I need a function that compares two drives, which find files missing in one side compare to the other (regardless of the date)

Is this possible?

Thanx

Hi zoazim,

The Sync/compare menu doesnt compare the content of the subdirs.

It does.

How does it?

I compares 4 txt files. 1 in same folder, two files in different folder, one file missing. But the result shows 3 files missing

There is nothing missing, just push the other required buttons and you will see all your files.
You only have 2 out of 4 possible compare buttons pushed.

Horst.Epp,

You only have 2 out of 4 possible compare buttons pushed.

Actually 3 out of 6.

I have tried several button combinations, I seem to have been missing the right one;

Can you please tell me the correct one?

Push all buttons except the [=] button, and remove the checkmark in "ignore date" - that will be the basic setup.
