Good, but not entirely trustworthy

It does seem to have issues when comparing between two different machines aceoss a LAN.

It’s also a real pain when doing successive compares, such as comparing a 2004 archive and then a 2005 archive. This is because as soon as you pick a sopurce for a folder it starts comparing…without giving you a chance to select the source for the right folder. It can take 5 minutes on large file systems to traverse the tree, so you wait 5 minutes just to be able to specify the correct other folder. That is, it is very difficult to chage BOTH folders before comparing again.

For smaller folders and file systems it seems to be great. But we have a lot of folders to compare and it’s UI is a pain because we can’t set the ;eft and right and then tell it to start…and you CANNOT interrupt or stop it once it starts…you just wait the 5-minutes for it to finish comparing the wrong two olders.

By the ay, there is NOT identification of the developer, no developer phone or email or web site. They do link to a forum that looks like it has been a year without many updates. It does make me wonder...
