FAQs
Below are a few of the Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Every time I compare two Folders, I get a Reminder window telling me about Rules Based Comparison Overheads. Is there something I am doing wrong?
A:
No, there is nothing wrong in doing a Rules Based Comparison.
It's just that this type of comparison has some
overheads in terms of time, which means it may take somewhat longer to do
this type of comparison. This Reminder can be turned off by
1. Selecting Don't Remind me again in the Reminder window, or
2. Un-checking Options -> Confirmations -> Remind me about
Rules Based Comparison Overheads.
Q: Why do I see a Message whenever I compare Files belonging to FAT and NTFS even though I am not comparing their respective Modified Time ?
A:
This is meant to be just a Reminder to you that the Modified Time of two
Files ( shown in Folder Comparison ) belonging to FAT and NTFS can be misleading.
For instance, the Modified Time can be the same when the Files aren't,
or vice versa. If you don't like seeing this Reminder, you can turn it
off by
1. Selecting Don't Remind me again in the Reminder window, or
2. Un-checking Options -> Confirmations -> Remind about FAT / NTFS Time delay issue.
Q: Whenever I compare two Folders, I can see which Files / Folders are Newer / Older / Different / Same. However, I want to see the comparison of the Sub Folders as well. How do I do that ?
A: Just Double click on the Sub Folders, and you'll see the comparison window of the Sub Folders.
Q: I did that, but the main Folder Comparison Window closed before showing the differences between the Sub Folders. Can I not have multiple Folder Comparison Windows opened simultaneously ?
A: Yes you can. Just enable Allow Multiple Comparison Windows option under Options -> General.
Q: What happens if Compare File Version in Folder Comparison Options is set ?
A: File Version is something that applies to only a particular type of Files (e.g. EXE, DLL, OCX etc.). This option helps you to find out whether Files in different Folders have the same version or not. If you are not comparing Files belonging to either of these types, this option would be ignored.
Q: Why is it not recommended to enable the Option Ignore Archived Files under Options -> Folder Editor -> File Filter ?
A: All the Files in Windows are Archived by Default. So if you set this option, there is a big possibility that you won't be able to see any file at all. This option is useful when you disable File Archiving in Windows ( not Recommended ).
Q: While defining the rules to Synchronize Target Folder, I came across the rule to Copy File from Source to Target EVEN when the Files are same. If the Files are same, why do I need to copy them at all ?
A:
When two Files are reported to be same, they are same by the Comparison Rules defined for them.
They might still be different if compared byte-by-byte.
Supposing the compared Files are as follows :
|
a1.cpp int b = 5; int a; a = b; // a assigned the value of b |
a2.cpp int b = 5; int a; a = b; // value of b assigned to a |
If the option to Ignore Source code comments is set, these Files will be reported to be the same, which is the correct behaviour. In case you want to make sure that the File in the Target Folder be an EXACT copy of the one in Source Folder, then the aforesaid Synchronization rule would be useful.
