Compare directories - Smaller or larger size

Post by *Darwin4Ever »

Hi,

I tried to find in TC a way to compare directories considering only the size.

Files existing on both sides (other files ignored) are compared for their size (dates ignored, content ingnored) and either the smaller ones (or larger ones) are selected

I couldn't find anything like that in TC (or plugin) but maybe I'm overlooking something

Currently you can't compare by size. The only size-related function is when overwriting (e.g. while copying). There you can choose to overwrite larger or smaller files.

Hi Ghisler,

Thanks for the reply !

A pity that it's not possible.
I know the possibility during overwriting.

But I want to keep the smaller ones and move them elsewhere before starting copying.
With a compare by size that would be very easy

I can provide a button that will show only files that exists in both panels (disregarding size and date) if that would be of any help to you.
