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

oXygen 13.1

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
