Hello:
I use filter files like "*.doc; *.txt; *.docx" from version 1.15 and it works ok. In version 1.19, if I have set "Hide filtered items" and I click one time to compare button, I see diferent files. If I click again, different files dissapear. I can't see diferent items.
Great software.

Hi Yosu,
with v1.19 the behavior of the filter changed: It is now applied WHILE comparing. This has the advantage, that you can exclude whole directories, especially useful if comparing by content.
In your case (I assume you use "*.doc..." as an include filter) this can make a difference: All subdirectories that do not match to the filter (and this are ALL in this case) are not traversed... including the files that are within them and match the filters.
I'm just wondering, if your usecase makes a distinctin between filtering files/directories necessary.
Best regards, Zenju

PS: A current workaround to traverse into all directories, would be to setup the include filter like this:
*\; *.doc
The "*\" includes all elements that end with a "\", which is interpreted as a directory. This should do exactly what you want.
Anyway I'll think about the issue and try to find a more elegant solution.
