FolderMatch 5.2.1 Multilingual

Software Overview

---

FolderMatch can compare two folders, including their subfolders, and present differences in a side-by-side layout. Comparison results can be filtered by attributes such as filename, type, date, and size, allowing users to focus on specific changes.
When differences need to be resolved, files and subfolders can be copied, moved, deleted, or renamed manually. Folder synchronization is also available for users who want the software to reconcile the contents of two locations automatically.
File comparison extends beyond basic properties. FolderMatch can compare text content and display differences by character, word, or line. It supports Microsoft Office, OpenDocument, Adobe PDF, RTF, HTML, and XML documents, while options are available for ignoring whitespace or letter-case differences.
The duplicate finder can locate files even when their filenames differ. Users can define duplicate criteria based on name, size, date, or content, select file categories to examine, and choose how matching files should be handled.
