Folder Scope
Kaleidoscope's Folder Scope can show you the differences between the contents of two folders.
When comparing two directories, the Folder Scope will highlight files or folders that are different. Double-clicking on a folder or file pair will open them in a new tab for comparison.
Folder Differences
- Files and folders on the left that do not have matches on the right are highlighted in red.
- Files and folders on the right that do not have matches on the left are highlighted in green.
- Files or folders that are in both directories but are different are highlighted in purple. Differences could be due to filesize, contents, etc.
Filtering Results
You can use the checkboxes in the bottom toolbar to filter the folder listing to make reviewing the differences easier.
- Changed will display files and folders that are different.
- Unchanged will display files and folders that are the same on both sides.
- Unmatched will display items that do not have a match in the other folder.
Kaleidoscope can help you merge your files from one side or both. Learn more about Folder Merging.
