File Comparator Improvement

Post by cincura.net »

Hi,

sometimes I need to compare the files and to know only if there's diff or not. If I use Ctrl+F10, it's comparing the whole directory (which takes a lot of time - i.e. on network drives, USB flashes, ...). The Ctrl+Shift+C (File Comparator) is computing the whole diffs, but I only wanna to know if there's or not the diff.

For the first example I've to copy files into separate folders. :(
The second example isn't working fast (and for very big files is there problem with (or without ;) ) the memory).

So my suggestion is to improve the File Comparator Plugin to have an ability to show "is different" or "isn't different" (without showing the diffs, which is algorithm with very bad computational complexity).
