General information

In a Folder comparison of Diff, you can compare two comparison objects with each other, insert
or delete files or folders, and store the modified objects again. The comparison and display of
the comparison results is realized at the folders and files level. This means that the contents
of the files are compared optionally, but not displayed.
The folder comparison supports comparison and editing of the following objects:
● Folders/directories,
● SINUMERIK archive in the PC format
● SINUMERIK archive in the punched tape format
● ZIP archive
● TGZ archive
● TAR archive
Because unpacked archives usually represent a structure consisting of folders and files, similar
rules apply to comparing and editing.
In the folder comparison, files with the same name are compared for size, date, version, and
binary contents.
The comparison result is prepared both qualitatively and quantitatively.
From the comparison objects, folders and files can be copied to the clipboard and to other
applications (Expert, Windows Explorer, etc.).
