Features

  • Directories (all or only selected) can be compared and synchronized both symmetrically (two-way) and asymmetrically (one-way). This feature shows differences between two locations by directory and subdirectory, and can make a fully automatic backup of files that have been added, changed or deleted.
  • Two similar panels with an optional tree view panel, synchronized with the others. Navigation through folders in the tree view panel is reflected (in real time) in the active standard panel and vice versa.
Panels can be duplicated from one side to the other. Panels can represent original directories compared to copied or backed-up ones. These can then be matched in more detail in the synchronize directory feature.
  • Tabbed navigation
Tabs are for directories. Sets of tabs can be saved to files that can be reloaded to produce the same two panels and their tabs that one set up and saved. Tabs can be configured to allow no changes to them, or to open subdirectories in new tabs, so that the original tab remains intact and available.
  • Bookmarks[5]
  • Brief or full view of files
  • Flat view, which is a list of files in subfolders of any level
  • Images can also be viewed as thumbnails of user-defined sizes
  • Several sort options
  • Archive support (zip, 7z, tar, bz2, tbz, gz, tgz, lzma, tlz)
  • Files (and folders) in archives are handled as if they were in an ordinary disk partition. All decompression and compression processes work in the background.[6]
