Size filter

Post by MSpagni »

"Do not compare files larger than xxx" is good, but what about an option to switch automatically to a "raw comparison only" above a threshold?
Often I'm just trying to know if the files are identical (in a binary sense) or not.
(I mean something like what appens when the files are big and the message "not enough memory; would you like ecc." appears)

This would not be a filter: by definition, filters reduce the number of files to compare. It might be a feature though: a new option somewhere under Dir Compare, like "Perform byte-by-byte comparison of files larger than...". We could add something like this to the wish list.
