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. Note: This is not to be confused with the Kompare utility which shows the content of two text-based FILES side by side. And I'm not really after any of the myriad sync utilities unless they also perform the same *comparison* functions of Komparator. Syncing directories is not my principal concern, it's the more comprehensive side-by-side analysis that is particularly useful. It still works under my 42.2 install but hasn't been updated in years, and I fear given the desire of KDE to drop anything that hasn't been converted to Frameworks 5 it probably won't function come the Leap 15 release series. I use this program regularly - it's incredibly handy, particularly since I can feed it a URL via SSH to a folder on a network machine. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

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 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

I might be completely wrong, and probably am, but looking at the screenshots of meld, it reminds me a lot of kdiff3, a simple file and/or folder compare_tool that works perfectly on 42.3.

Well... I use 'mc', a terminal application. One of the things it can do is compare directories. The ssh part is broken since a year or two, though. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

komparator is not for comparing directories. It finds identical files in several specified directories even if they names are different. I guess mc and the programs alike can't do this.

Edit: it only searches 2 directories but identifies identical files even is their names are different or they are located in different subdirectories, if I remember correctly.

No, 'mc' can't do that.

Ah! Two directories only. For a bit I was mystified. I want that feature.

I see. One of my stalled projects is an utility to find identical files, even if they have different names, on any directory. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

Oh...! :-o Ah, wait, those are "file comparison" tools, whereas we are looking for "directory comparison" tools. Basically, find identical files even if their names changed, by comparing their checksums. Those file comparison tools are good to find what changed in a file (a diff, for instance). That said, in the "Compare features" table of that page, I don't understand several of the table headers: Name Show in-line changes ?? Directory comparison Binary comparison Moved lines 3-way comparison ?? Merge Structured comparison ?? Manual compare alignment Image Compare ?? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
