Download jpDirComp.zip (2,611,020 bytes) on your hard disk, unzip it in an empty folder using a 32-bit unzipping utility because it contains long filenames and run 'Setup' to install it. In case you don't like this utility, you can uninstall it from 'Add/Remove Programs' like any other Windows application.

In some cases, the setup program may need to upgrade some of your computer's controls before performing the installation of the utility. In this case, let the setup program perform the upgrade (your computer will be re-booted automatically) and then run the setup program again to perform the installation.

Description

If you work on the same set of files both at home and at work, then you usually transfer these files on a floppy disk, a zip disk or some other kind of removable media. In this case, did you ever find yourself in the position of not remembering where the latest version of these files is stored? And did you ever need a utility that could compare these files, print the results of the comparison, save and recall the twenty recently compared paths, synchronize the files you want to compare, let you compare only the common files of two directories and let you view the Windows system info about your PC? But most important of all, did you ever want such a utility at the cost of a single Smile? If your answer to all the above is YES, then this utility is for YOU. Download it, Install it and Enjoy it.

A message is now displayed, stating the number of files the synchronization process has detected. Although it is not a major enhancement, this message helps you know how many the common files in both directories are and prevents you from scrolling the file list boxes up and down to see if there are common files.

Along with the fact that the number of saved paths is now unlimited, the user has the ability to fully edit the saved paths using the notepad of Windows.

Up until now, the time a file was last modified, was being displayed incorrectly. The month from the file's last modification date was displayed, instead of the minutes (hh:MM:ss). This has now been fixed.

The application is now capable of distinguishing between upper and lower case letters in filenames. This is a user selectable option.

The user can now select all files, select no files or reverse the selection of the files that will be compared, with just a couple of mouse clicks.

The user can now set an initial path, which is recalled automatically every time the application is launched.
