Why was removed the Equal sign?

[nunoleite]

Hi, and thanks for developing this great application, and giving it to the world for free.

I only want to ask why did you removed the equal sign from the filter view at the bottom?
I find that interesting... cause sometimes i need to see the files that are equal and don't need sync.

And again thanks for this simple and great tool. Remember the best thinks are simple.

I didn't remove it. It's just that now there are two views: 1. Comparison result, 2. Sync-Preview.
In the second view there is no "equal" sign, because conceptually it should contain items for synchronization only. This represents a complete different set of categories: copy_left, copy_right, overwrite_left, overwrite_right, delete_left, delete_right, do_nothing, conflict.
Rows that are considered "==" in 1. would need to be shown as "do_nothing" in 2.
Also it would be possible to manually overwrite sync-direction for equal files: That doesn't make much sense, because they're already in sync, so I chose to not display them.

Ok, i didn't saw that in the comparison result. My mistake. And i understand your explanation.

I would like to give a tip, unless i'm missing something, are you considering in writing a small manual? I think with all that options, like the one i mentioned and others i saw here and sometimes a little bit hidden, it would be great.
I know this is a freeware program and it's already great to have such a program free.
Please ask for help in the community.
I would be glad to help although my english is not perfect.

And thanks for your fast reply. Like this you are really supporting your program.

> considering in writing a small manual?
Basically I'd hope that overall usability is good enough so that a manual is not needed. So my primary concern is improving the tool in the first place (Also I take your question about the equal sign serious, 'cause it shows, the two views are not yet the perfect design that I seek). If there are special features that are not self-explanatory and are of interest only to a minority of users then I write a small comment in Readme.txt

Of course, a real manual would be nice, but I totally lack the time for this. If you would like to write one, it would be appreciated. Don't worry about your english, I can organize some proof-reading.
