Hi, I was wondering why when I try to compare an entire HDD vs. selecting a
specific folder I get different results. I have this folder that's over 160Gig
and when I compare only the folder to the same folder name in backup drive
there is no change, however when I compare the entire drive to backup drive,
this folder has over 140Gig of info that will be added and deleted to backup
drive.
It seems that only the Date time stamp is different, I would like FFS ignore
difference in Date time when I'm comparing an entire HDD. I tried setting the
FileTolerance as instructed in the help to the XML file to 2.000.000.000 and
it's not working for me.
Any help would be appreciated

>140Gig of info that will be added and deleted to backup drive.
The two directories that hold this data on each volume must have different
name. Else, this data should be seen as equal on both sides.

Zenju,
I feel like a donkey. Indeed one of the folder had an extra space in the name
and I did not see it. I've been trying for weeks to figure this out. Thanks
for your help.
This is a great utility and before I started using this I was relying on
explorer and manually copying and deleting files. Way to go guys.
