I don't know whether it is a bug in ExamDiffPro, Windows or Linux /Samba. But I have the following problem:

- One set of files is stored on a Windows machine.
- One set of files is stored on a Linux machine (a kind of backup).

I do recursive directory comparison with the flag, that files with different timestamps are considered different files. That was no problem until last weekend (change of daylight saving). Now there is a difference of one hour between the timestamps which means that ExamDiffPro shows all files as changed.[/img]

ExamDiff simply uses the timestamps that Windows provides. To verify, open the same directory in Windows Explorer and look at the timestamps.

As far as the solution, there're two different ways:

1. Use "Consider files with same CRC identical" and "Consider files with different CRCs different" options under Options | Dir Comparison
2. Under Options | Dir Comparison | More, set "Time zone difference (second - first)" to +1 or -1, depending on the direction of the comparison.

Thanks, this helps
