General Software Discussion / Compare folders with identical files, but .. different file names
« on: May 19, 2018, 07:59 AM »
Have vainly been searching for a tool that compares folders that contain in fact the same files, but the files in one folders are renamed.
Meaning to say that hashes, date time stamp and sizes of the files are the same.
All compare tools take the file names into account, by design, there is no option to just compare based on MD5 or so.
I have two relatively big folders, with probably over 90% the same files (different names though), but the folder sizes are different and I would like to figure out what files are missing in the smaller folder.
The tool should therefore 'hide' identical files.
WinDiff, WinMerge, FreeFileSync, GoodSync, Beyond Compare, ExamDiff Pro: not possible.
Thanks!
