Anybody know of an alternative program to Komparator with very similar functionality? https://sourceforge.net/projects/komparator/
A GUI application with the ability to analyze two directories side by side, show missing files, newer files, duplicate files, compare MD5 checksums, copy from one pane to the other, and more.
Yes. Dirdiff, a script written in Tcl
Here's the header and help from the listing. It does all of the above except MD5. perhaps there's a later version than the 1.6 I have. I don't recall where I got it from. Go google.
I downloaded the version from the openSUSE repo. Ouf! My romantic notion of going back in time and reclaiming my lost youth has lost some of its lustre. I don't doubt it might provide some of the functionality I need, but I can't see myself working with that. The file/directory picker under my regular theme appears with almost invisible entries, but it also doesn't appear to let me put in a path to get to my network folder. I don't understand most of the options either, I think it's oriented at a rather different use case to my own. Nonetheless, in the process of searching more info on that, I stumbled across another possibility, Meld: http://meldmerge.org/features.html https://software.opensuse.org/package/meld I haven't yet installed it since it wants to update my kernel and a few other critical patches that I'm holding off applying for a few days for other reasons, but from the features list and screenshots it seems like a halfway house between Dirdiff and what I'm really after. I'll try it out in the coming days. Cheers, gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
