<p class="p_Normal"><img width="27" height="12" style="margin:0;width:27px;height:12px;border:none" src="pro.png"/></p>
<p class="p_Normal">These settings control what is considered a difference in a folder session.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Quick tests</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">These comparison tests can be performed simply by reading folders and are much quicker than tests that require reading individual files.</p>
<p class="p_Command"><span class="f_Command">Compare file size</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Marks files as different if file sizes differ.</p>
<p class="p_Command"><span class="f_Command">Compare timestamps</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Compares files' date and time last modified.  Timestamps must differ by more seconds than the <span class="f_Command">second tolerance</span> to be considered mismatches.</p>
<p class="p_Indented"><span class="f_Command">Ignore daylight saving difference</span> ignores exact hour differences.  This is useful for dealing with the way that different file systems handle Daylight Savings Time.</p>
<p class="p_Indented"><span class="f_Command">Ignore timezone differences</span> ignores timestamp differences that are multiples of an exact hour.</p>
<p class="p_Command"><span class="f_Command">Compare filename case</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Marks files as different if character capitalizations differ.</p>
<p class="p_Command"><span class="f_Command">Compare file attributes </span><img width="16" height="16" style="margin:0;width:16px;height:16px;border:none" src="windows.png"/></p>
<p class="p_Indented"><span class="f_Command">Archive</span> compares files' archive attribute.  Since merely copying a file can change its archive attribute, you should normally disable this option.</p>
<p class="p_Indented"><span class="f_Command">System</span> compares files' system attribute.</p>
<p class="p_Indented"><span class="f_Command">Hidden</span> compares files' hidden attribute.</p>
<p class="p_Indented"><span class="f_Command">Read-only</span> compares files' read-only attribute.</p>
<p class="p_Subtitle"><span class="f_Subtitle">Tests that require reading files</span></p>
<p class="p_Command"><span class="f_Command">Compare contents</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Enables size or content-related comparisons.</p>
<p class="p_Indented"><span class="f_Command">CRC comparison</span> compares files using their CRC values.</p>
<p class="p_Indented"><span class="f_Command">Binary comparison</span> compares files byte-by-byte.</p>
<p class="p_Indented"><span class="f_Command">Rules-based comparison</span> compares files based on their <a href="file_formats.html" class="topiclink">file format</a> associations.  Allows you to ignore differences in line endings, whitespace, or source code comments.</p>
<p class="p_Indented"><span class="f_Command">Skip if quick tests indicate files are the same</span> improves comparison speed by only performing the slower, more thorough tests when timestamps are different.</p>
<p class="p_Command"><span class="f_Command">Compare versions </span><img width="16" height="16" style="margin:0;width:16px;height:16px;border:none" src="windows.png"/></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Compares version information, typically stored in application files (.exe, .dll, .ocx, etc).</p>
<p class="p_Command"><span class="f_Command">Override quick test results</span></p>
<p class="p_Normal">Marks files as matching if a content comparison determines they match even if there are differences in timestamps or other quick tests.</p>
