Misalignment

Post by MSpagni »

In directory comparison sorted by relative path, if a directory is empty goes to the top of the list, while if it's not empty it's correctly put at its place in the list.
Not a big problem, but when the directories are many it can be deceptive and, anyway, it looks like a buglet.
Look at the attached screenshot for an example.

It just obeys the sort order: .\ comes before .\AAA, and .\Dir comes after .\BBB

Yes, but what I need is to compare .\Dir with .\Dir, no matter if empty or full, so I expect to find them in correspondence between the two panes.
And, if the directories in between are many, like it was when I went aware of that, the thing is misleading.
Luckily, whatever the order of the possible "copy" operations, the results are correct.

I understand. This, however, is not an easy fix, and our new development effort is directed towards the tree mode, where this issue does not exist.

Being so, I think I'll survive... :)
Thanks anyway.
