[Kdiff3-user] More compare options

[Douglas K. <dbk...@gm...>]

I would like to see more compare options.
1. Does the file exist or both sides?
2. Is the file size the same?
3. Is the file date(or dates) the same?
4. Other diffs?

I would like to use kdiff for comparing long lists of binary file, such as
mps and photo file. Based on the compare I could update the files.

I think kdiff3 is the wrong tool for this.

Hi Douglas,

Regarding 1, 2 and 3: Perhaps the directory comparison options "Trust the size 
and modification date" and "Trust the size" is what you want.

If set then KDiff3 assume files are equal if sizes and dates are equal and 
avoids the longer binary comparison. In the result view the newer file is 
green and the older is red. For equal files both are green.

Regarding 4: Comparing pictures would really be nice and a picture 
(difference) viewer is on my own wishlist...

Regards,
Joachim
