oXygen: "Compare Directories" report that files are different

Post by dma_k »

Sorry, I couldn't really understand the reason of "Compare Directories", but for the test XML files it reports that the files are different, although the contents seems to be identical.

Test files: test.zip

Hello,

Please note that the comparison criteria is mentioned in the status bar. In your case the timestamp(last modified date and time) is used, no actual comparison of the content is performed by Compare Directories.

You can change this in Options -> Preferences, Diff -> Directories Comparison, select Compare files by: Content.

Regards,
Adrian
