![]() ![]() Problem is I keep landing on comparing tools that insist of not doing just file names/existence compare but a bite to bite compare as well like Winmerge etc that would consume more time than recopying everything. If the files or folders of the 2nd folder. It occurred to me i should find a folder compare utility that would allow me to compare across medias i am copying to be able to copy only remaining files thinking it would be an easy task. WinMerge If the files or folders of the 1st folder are missing in the 2nd folder: Select Copy > Left to Right. So the official work around is to copy and accept replacing of already copied files no matter how time consuming that is and file fragmentation it may cause to new media. What happens is that the copy dialog roughly advance to 100% skipping the whole copy process, I think this is a glitch that date way back older than I can remember and yet nobody really bother investigating its reason. which is re-copying then accept skipping of already copied files while ticking to do so for all upcoming request. When you open folder to compare, you can select file or filder to left and another on right, so there will be two location selected for comparing. ![]() WinMerge can compare both folders and files, presenting differences in a visual text format that is easy to understand and handle. ![]() The funny thing is the straight forward solution never works for me, I did test it over several machines and it did not work. WinMerge is an Open Source differencing and merging tool for Windows. Usually on upgrading my disks and cards for higher capacities 99% of the time I face an unrecoverable copy interruption the reasons may vary and 99% of the time its windows idiocy. ![]()
