Search options

Search options for folder comparison allow to specify the include and exclude search mask. In this way user can make the comparison faster. For instance, user can ignore large files by size or by mask.

Some tips:

  • If you need to ignore *.exe (Executable) files, use the *.exe mask in Exclude mask(s) textbox
  • Check "Search file smaller than" if you don't need to compare large files.
