Problem is I keep landing on comparing tools that insist of not doing just file names/existence compare but a bite to bite compare as well like Winmerge etc that would consume more time than recopying everything. Below is a table showing the characteristics of each comparison method. It also does not apply line filters, comment filters, or plugins. ![]() In the Select Files and Folders dialog, specify File1 as the Left file and File2 as the Right file, then click OK. 'Ignore case' option and 'Ignore spaces' option are not applied. For example, double-click the WinMerge desktop shortcut. It occurred to me i should find a folder compare utility that would allow me to compare across medias i am copying to be able to copy only remaining files thinking it would be an easy task. what's the downside to using binary compare. So the official work around is to copy and accept replacing of already copied files no matter how time consuming that is and file fragmentation it may cause to new media. What happens is that the copy dialog roughly advance to 100% skipping the whole copy process, I think this is a glitch that date way back older than I can remember and yet nobody really bother investigating its reason. which is re-copying then accept skipping of already copied files while ticking to do so for all upcoming request. ![]() ![]() The funny thing is the straight forward solution never works for me, I did test it over several machines and it did not work. ![]() Usually on upgrading my disks and cards for higher capacities 99% of the time I face an unrecoverable copy interruption the reasons may vary and 99% of the time its windows idiocy.
