Does what it advertises

This utility provides a straightforward, side-by-side compare of two folders that are individually selected. There are user selectable filters to hone the compare display (e.g., compare permission differences, or not; compare creation date differences, or not; etc.) . There are also color highlights to help id the files which are identical and those with some type of difference. One minor request is for the significance of the colors to be defined somewhere (e.g., green = identical files in all analyzed parameters, while red & pink indicate what types of differences). This later point is why I downgraded the utility from 5 to 4 stars, upon initially using the utility I struggled to understand the colors and layout of filenames, when a short key or help file would have made the app more usable, more quickly.

This app is not advertised to permit uses to make changes to the folders using this utility, you have to go back to the folder windows or another utility in order to make changes to one or the other file.

All in all, very helpful and easy to use.
