How can I compare the files by content with Synkron?

Synkron

If it's not covered in the Help File, then the best way to find out detailed information on how any application works is by consulting the application's own site. For Synkron you need to go to http://synkron.sourceforge.net

Many thanks for the link.

Many thanks for the link.

Yes, I had already searched for that option in that help, but hadn't found anything like it, but I cannot imagine that there isn't such a compare method. And in the forum I hadn't gotten any answer. And in the program itself I couldn't find that option either.

Well, so I just will use another program.

Many thanks again.

Not Unusual

It wouldn't be unusual for it to not have a utility to compare individual files and show differences. A tool like WinMerge fits that bill better.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

<<<<It wouldn't be unusual for it to not have a utility to compare individual files and show differences.
Yes, I think so too, but it shouldn't show the differences, just compare the content (e.g. like FreeFileSync does). I just would like to know whether the contents are equal or not.

<<<WinMerge fits that bill better.
Yes, that is a very nice program. A drawback I cannot avoid - may be there is such an option I couldn't find - is, after comparing by content and showing the files and folders in the result list, when you click a folder to show its files WinMerge starts again to compare those files by content, although they already were compared.
