#2217 Compare results refresh incorrectly after deletions
Compare results refresh incorrectly after deletions.
How to replicate the problem 2.16.0.0 on fresh install of Win10pro Feb2019 release:
(1) mpare "by date and size" two folders A(at Left) and B(at Right) which contain some identical files, pluse one unique file inside folder A and another unique file in folder B.
(2) After compare finishes, change the compare method to "full contents", then right-click the unique file in folder A and select "copy left to right", then right-click the unique file in folder B and select "Delete".
(3) Finally, right-click the unique file in folder A again and this time select "Refresh" The file will dissappear as it should, but the previously deleted file from folder B re-appears due to a bug. Right-click this phantom file and select "refresh" and it will disappear because it really wasn't there in the first place.
P.S. I compare several terrabytes of data on a regular basis and remediate differences using the above procedure. Once in a while WinMerge crashes (it just poof dissappears off my screen). This is a huge problem because then I have to re-initiate the original compare compare step 1 above, which takes a very long time. I suspect that if you can fix the above bug, then maybe the crashes will go away, and I can report back regarding that.
