Options for Comparing Folders
How Modified Times are Compared
Time Resolution
File Time Resolution
These two fields set how closely the modified times of files being compared must be for them to be considered the same. The default is '1' Second.
The minimum Resolution value is 0.
A value of 0 tells FileBoss to compare file times exactly as they are.
The maximum values for Resolution are:
Days
|
730
|
Hours
|
17,520
|
Minutes
|
1,051,200
|
Seconds
|
63,072,000
|
The default is 1 second.
Normally you should NOT change the default settings unless you have a very specific reason and really know what you are doing.
Note that while Windows records File Times to the nearest 100 nanoseconds (1/10,000,000 of a second) the recorded times are not that accurate and are rounded by most systems anyway.
Time Zone Offset
The value entered in this field will be added to the Modified File Times in the 2nd folder or path being compared before any comparisons are made.
For example, if most of the files in the second folder or path are two hours earlier than the times in the first group you could enter 2 here. Those files will then be considered the as having the same time.
If the times were two hours later, then enter -2 to achieve the same result.
Skip Merge Control Dialog
Specifies the number of hours to add (or subtract) from the file times of the entries in the second folder or path before comparing them. Normally used to compensate for time zone differences.
Skip Merge Control Dialog
When checked, prevents the Merge Control dialog from being automatically displayed when folders/paths are first compared.
(To display the dialog, simply click the 'Merge' button on the Compare Toolbox that is always displayed when folders/paths are being compared.)
