Compare nested directories?
I have two folders each with over a thousand files. They used to be 90% identical but then the folder hierarchy got completely messed up so the locations of the files in folders and sub-folders is entirely out of whack although the 1000+ files themselves are still 90& identical. Is there any way...

The extension page says it doesn't work for Win 7, which I have as specified in my sig.

Re: Calculate Subfolder Size not working
even when you have automatic size calculation turned on, it doesn't work for root folders or those that are remote (network). If you use folder sizes a lot you may be better off installing folder size shell extension http://www.zabkat.com/blog/23Aug09-folder-size.htm I take it "root" mean...

Calculate Subfolder Size not working
I have 'calculate subfolders size automatically' checked and the time it takes for the sizes to display for any given set of folders can be anywhere from about a second to a minute to 10 minutes to never. I have tried closing all other programs but nothing seems to help. It seems to vary from day to...

Re: Pane colors - active vs inactive
another way to clearly see which pane is active is TOOLS > OPTIONS, advanced page, Hilite active pane's titlebar... Thanks. This is even better. The dark blue is obvious but not intrusive and it's more intuitive to have the titlebar highlighted because the important thing is that the pane is active...

Re: Pane colors - active vs inactive
this column coloring is caused by "Hilight primary sort column" option (see TOOLS > OPTIONS menu, WINDOW page) I would like to have an ability to choose the color of the primary sort column like you can choose the inactive pane's color. Under the current system, if you have the inactive p...

Global freeze if no disk is in the dvd drive when starting
If I try to open xlporer2 and it tries to read the dvd drive and there's no disc in the drive, it freezes and can't recover and sometimes it makes other programs like Firefox or the whole computer freeze. There's pop-up window with buttons for Try Again / Continue / [some third choice like Discard, ...

Re: Bulk name/rename folders from a text file?
Thanks. The folder names originally come from a spreadsheet so I can use the concatenate function to add /cat and /dog to them with just a few keystrokes. I wouldn't know how to use that script although I have used with think would be called scripts in basic programming for statistics and computer m...

Re: Bulk name/rename folders from a text file?
Wow, perfect. Works great.
However I now realized I want every folder to have two (empty) subfolders, so for example every folder has subfolders called "Cat" and "Dog".

Bulk name/rename folders from a text file?
I have a text file where each line is the name I want to give to a folder. The folders don't exist yet. Is there some way to get these folder names on to folders all at once? So if my text file looks like this: Blue Five Dog Orange Table I want to end up with five folders having those as their names...

Re: Syncing folders that have renamed files and subfolders
Have you considered using a dedicated synchronization tool, such as Beyond Compare ? No, I had never heard of dedicated synchronization tools, so thanks. I've spent many hours researching around for backup tools and never saw those mentioned! The main thing is, can it deal with a file that you move...

Re: Syncing folders that have renamed files and subfolders
duplicates checker can also work without filenames so it is rename-tolerant My impression is that an mp3's size can change when you edit the tag. It certainly must change if you add an album cover. If that wasn't the case, size would be a good way to check duplicates since mp3s will almost never ha...

Re: Syncing folders that have renamed files and subfolders
So then how do you yourself back up your music? As a programmer is this not also a problem for your work? Theoretically one could use continuous live backup to cloud storage but in my experience that slows down the computer enormously - completely unacceptable. This is on a Thinkpad T520 (their 'bus...

Syncing folders that have renamed files and subfolders
This question is about syncing and backing up files in general. I'm not sure xplorer2 is at all meant to do what I need but people here seem like they'd know about this issue. The problem is how to synchronize folders of thousands of photos between my computer and external HD. I am constantly renami...
