Abandoned in a horribly bad, unreliable state.

This tool seriously contains CRC checksum methods for folder comparison.
Using the bit-for-bit comparison it takes ages.
reddy.shyam reviewed v2.13.14 Experimental on Sep 17, 2010
Development has almost come to a standstill but I guess nothing new can be added. Serves my purpose.

As a very nice alternative try Diffuse from sourceforge (python).
http://diffuse.sourceforge.net/
It works with files only & is very simple to use.
Excuse the horodruin ref. It is a folder type sync ap for which I would probably use over this. Not a fan of the gui here.

using it for a long time. Never had errors while comparing, and perfs are good even with big folders (under xp). Maybe you should not use "Experimental" or "Nightly builds" and stay with stable releases

Comparison is not trustable.
Sometimes it does not detect file differences while they are there.
So, what's left for this tool ?
anomoly reviewed v2.13.4 Experimental on Mar 18, 2009
I tested this with 2 different folders that I wanted to be the same and it seemed to take foreeeeever. In comparison, I tried Horodruin and it was ten times faster.

I really want to like this program. But I'm struggling with the interface and the number of colors used by default in order to get the point across.
It's like a good book with a bad cover, you know?
Still. Open Source. Great move. I'd surely give it a solid 3.5 if we could, but I don't feel comfortable giving it a full 4.0.
I'm glad it's out there, but at the same time, I hope contributors to the project will be able to focus on some usability issues related to the interface and color scheme. Interface design can be a daunting task. I hope they can get it right.

I can't praise this app highly enough.
Works straight out of the box and does exactly what it is supposed to.
I use it on a regular basis.

I was a Beyond Compare user prior to discovering this tool. Even though my company had purchased a copy of Beyond Compare for me, I uninstalled it and began using WinMerge. I love it and use it every day. Well done!

i use both winmerge and araxis. Are great!
EarlyMorningHours reviewed v2.11.1.6 Experimental on Oct 23, 2008
I've been using this program continually for the last year after having used ExamDiff Pro for a few years prior. WinMerge has been just as reliable and actually preferable in some regard for me. I can't say that I use it in every conceivable fashion, but for directory comparison, and file content comparison, it has been indispensable.

I just don't get it, what version is current 2.11.x or 2.9.x ???? DOH.
