Why are you always so negative?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

What I would like to do is to compare a pair of directories, with the app showing that there is a file in one directory that is missing from the other, etc.; if it could also show that the same-named file in on directory has a different Date Modified, that would be good too. It would seem that this would be a feature in any backup app, but the ones I have seen all seem to want to do the synchronize action without simply telling me the difference first; of course, having the ability to do the synchronization as well would be good, but I want to be in control of that operation. Thanks

I second WinDiff. If you want automatic sync when a file changes, I wrote File Flitter[^] 5 years ago to watch for file changes and update the destination folder.

I did a search for WinDiff, and an article said that WinMerge is better. As I already have WinMerge I looked at it, and once I had figured out how to select a folder instead of a file, it did an admiral job. I still would like to find an app that is more intuitive.
I will also review TotalCommander and the DotNetUtils package.

Why not write it yourself?
It's only a few lines in C#!
IEnumerable<string> dirA = Directory.GetFiles(path1).Select(s => Path.GetFileName(s));
IEnumerable<string> dirB = Directory.GetFiles(path2).Select(s => Path.GetFileName(s));
IEnumerable<string> inAButNotB = dirA.Except(dirB);
IEnumerable<string> inBButNotA = dirB.Except(dirA);
Console.WriteLine("In A but not B:");
foreach (string s in inAButNotB) Console.WriteLine(s);
Console.WriteLine("In B but not A:");
foreach (string s in inBButNotA) Console.WriteLine(s);

Surely you'd want a little more than that? Such as creation date etc...

Not exactly a problem - that was just a quick "chuck it together" jobbie. Use the FileInformation instead of the file name, and it's not that complex.

TotalCommander has it all in one package.

I wrote my own a while back. Give it a try and let me know if it might be useful.

There's a very good file/directory utility library which is part of the open-source DotNetZip project on CodePlex; it supports several file-compare options: [^].
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008
