Always show folders

Compare file and folder structure

Click the [All] button on the toolbar, select the Compare file and folder structure option in the expanded menu. Will cause the comparison folder to compare folders and files according to the display filter settings. For example, if the main display filter is Show All, then all folders will appear. If differences are displayed, only folders and files with differences will be displayed, and matching folders and files will be hidden.

Compare files only

Click the [All] button on the toolbar and select the Compare only files option in the expanded menu. Uncheck all empty folders to compare only files, truly empty folders and the entire content of the folder is hidden by other displays or file filters.

Note: Click the [No Filter] button to view the folder comparison operation interface. All empty folders are marked and displayed in different colors. Click the [No Filter] button again. All empty folders will be hidden, allowing only a file view to be compared.

Ignore folder structure

Click the [All] button on the toolbar and select the Ignore folder structure option in the expanded menu. The structure of all compared folders will be hidden, and only the files included will be displayed, indicating the folder to which a file belongs in the form of a path.
