In the center of the window is a 2 column listing of the files and sub-folders
that are present in the 2 folders being compared.
This is a recursive listing; all sub-folders are completely expanded.
Lines are colored and an icon is attached to each line based upon the status of
the files or sub-folders on the line. In the following example, the files
C:\examples\ancestor\subfolder1\Preview_LineMode_3.txt and
C:\examples\branch_1\subfolder1\Preview_LineMode_3.txt are
different and the file version.h only exists in the
C:\examples\ancestor\ folder.
The status bar contains a summary of the 2 folders. This is independent of the various show/hide settings.
From left to right the fields are the sum of the number of:
- Files: equal equivalent quickmatch different peerless
- Folders: pairs peerless
- Shortcuts: equal different peerless (Windows only)
- Symlinks: equal different peerless (Linux/Mac only)
