[TC 11 RC 3] Compare Directories does not show missing directories

[Schultheis]

If I compare directories (Shift+F2), missing directories are not selected on the other side. Message: The files in the source and target directories look identical. Bug or feature? Are directories not important enough?

[Gral]

Shift+F2 is shortcut for command "cm_CompareDirs"

What you need here is "cm_CompareDirsWithSubdirs"

[Horst.Epp]

As Gral said,
I find it much easier to use Synchronize dirs for that.

[Schultheis]

I could have sworn it had been different before. But the help says nothing about it. It should say that directories are not included in the comparison! After all, directories are also entries in the source and target directories. Perhaps this could be made configurable. Just as directories are marked or not.

Perhaps this could be made configurable

You can just assign Shift+F2 to cm_CompareDirsWithSubdirs in the Misc. Options

Be warned that cm_CompareDirsWithSubdirs only marks directories which do not exist in the other panel. It cannot look inside of them to find missing files, that can only be done with synchronize dirs.
