"Compare Directories" does not work for me

[rCBUSE32@GMAIL.COM]

I have the latest version of Win Cmdr but "Compare Directories" does not work. I have both directories on the screen but when I select compare directories nothing happens??? What is the problem?

"Compare Directories" does not compare the content of the files - it marks files on both sides, if they do not exist on both sides or if the filenames exist on both sides but the size and/or the date of the files are not the same.

My problem wih "compare directories just does NOTHING WHEN i CLICK ON IT. Older versions of Win Cmdr used to work fine. What is the problem?? some setting not toggled?

It still works fine for me.

Does it work if you press Shift+F2 in stead?

Or try command "cm_CompareDirs" in TC's command line, instead of "Mark > Compare Directories"

See "Configuraion > Options,,, > Layout > [x] Show command line"



If both directories are same, at least you should get
---------------------------
Total Commander
---------------------------
The files in the source and target directories look identical!
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------





Do "Mark > Load Selection From File" something for you?
