File and Directory Compare

File Compare

The File Compare examines the contents of two individual files. The tool supports syntax highlighting which works exactly as it does in individual editors. The tool displays the differences by color coding the changes which makes it easier to spot the differences.

File Compare Results

Directory Compare compares the directory structure and the files within them. You can easily compare files, based on their size, content, or timestamp.

File Compare User Interface

You can view file compare differences side-by-side or in a single view, define how the difference engine should treat white spaces in the text, control case-sensitive behavior, specify how the difference engine calculates and highlights granularity differences, show or hide line numbers, indentation guides, white spaces, soft wraps and manage a larger amount of code within one window by collapsing all unchanged code fragments in both files.

Database Directory Synchronization

You can synchronize selected file content or all files between two folders.

Tabs Compare
