At least on XP and on slow peripherals, when deleting a lot of files (I usually do it by clicking on the relevant arrow to "copy nothing" to the other pane) there is no user feedback that the operation is accepted and in progress.
EDP seems locked until the progress dialog "Sorting items" appears, many seconds later (when the delete operation is finished, I suppose).

One more thing quite marginal: swapping directories (i.e. swapping panes) triggers a full recompare. Why is this needed? Hasn't EDP already all the data?

Hmm, nobody complained about this but it does make sense to have progress dialog for deletion. We'll add it to the next build of 15.0.

Technically yes, comparison results could be reused but a big chunk of time is spent on things other than comparison: filling lists/trees, sorting etc, which would still have to be performed on toggle. Another consideration is that since the last comparison files/folders could have changed, thus recomparison is expected. So, considering the benefits vs the complexity of implementation, we'll keep things as they are, for now at least.

Obviously, the "problem" appears only when the deletion of a lot of files requires time.
I had some cases in which it required many seconds. That's why I saw it.

Good point!

Thanks
