In a directory compare pane, trying to copy a file from a directory to another clicking on the arrow in the left bar as I often do, I got "Encountered an improper argument."
In another case, trying to copy a file from a directory to another luckily I got "the directory has become empty" etc. etc. so I understood it deleted the source file instead!
The bug is very dangerous!
N.B. 32 bit version of ExamDiffPro 7.0.1.8

We are looking into this. In the meantime I recommend to not use diff bar copy arrows, select files instead and use the Copy commands in the menu and toolbar.

Phew! Now that I recovered the data (they were in a USB stick) I can reflect a bit.
First of all: the deleted files were on the
target drive.
Second: as you probably have guessed, I disabled the boring "are you sure you want to delete..." What's the use of the dust bin, otherwise?
The problem is: no dust bin for USB sticks!
Third: probably there is a misalignment. If my memory doesn't betray me, the effect is like I clicked on the arrow just below.
But my memory is not very trustworthy...

The fix will be deployed shortly. And yes, your memory is correct.
