DirEqual 4+

I'm trying to do a massive file cleanup, copying and comparing multiple folders over a network. The upside is that this app is very fast. It doesn't bog down and crash just opening the file directory which has happened to me on a couple of other programs.

I have a couple of major issues tho: Mostly that the directions seem unclear. Is the "compare file content" on or off when the background of it is blue? Why won't some of my files replace other files even when the dates and file sizes are the same? Why are there two "identical" symbols - one has wiggly lines, the other doesn't? Why are my files sometimes show as identical when the dates are different and I don't have "ignore dates" turned on?

I'm muddling through by running various operations over and over and making sure I double triple check every file, but I feel like this is a lot more time consuming than it would be if the support information were more than a few paragraphs on only one page. Four stars because it doesn't crash, it's fast, and it's not corrupting my files when it does copy them, but I'm really struggling to understand the variables in this program. Maybe a support message board for users to ask one another questions, or even a Reddit sub or something, would help.

This app works as stated and more. I needed to compare files in 2 directories down t the file and size. One being on a stick and the other on the MAC. Not only does it have 10 selection but you can select type of files. In addtion, when clicking on a file, the directory containing the file opens so you can see the file and it's folder. I've used complicated compare utilities and this one get to the point and I did not need to waste time figuring it out. I may have been abel to use the free dnload however, when a proram works and resonably priced... I gladly paided for it. Good job Naarak Studio/DirEqual

This app was exactly what I needed to quickly ensure tens of thousands of photos under multiple layers of folders within folders all copied over to a new hard drive. While it still took some time to accompllish the task, the before and after were incredibly different experiences. Knowing what I know now, I would gladly pay 20 dollars or more for this incredible tool. Super intuitive and once you get going its so fun to catch all the missed files from previous transfers. Love this app, cant recommend enough!
