Hi I am a big fan of win merge. It has been very helpful to me helping a blind man with his music files. He has a Dell XPS 400 and your app worked super fast when he had the Windows XP OS. He recently changed to Windows 7 and I reinstalled winmerge. Now it runs incredibly slow. It takes over an hour to do what it did before in a few minutes. Could you please advise me on a course of action to fix this? Please reply all so that the blind man gets the msg. Thanks so much.

Seeing as you're using it for music files, I assume you aren't doing text content comparison which is the slow part. I expect you just need to change the "File compare method" in the Compare settings to "Modified Date and size" rather than "Full contents" Setting "Stop after first difference" may also help. Hope this is useful. -- Dee Earley (de...@ea...) irc: irc://irc.blitzed.org/ web: http://www.earlsoft.co.uk phone: +44 (0)780 8369596 |
