ABOUT

=====

A module for DOpus Magellan that compares the entries (files only,

no directories) in the source lister with those in the target lister.

The files are not compared by their content, only their sizes and date

stamps (if not disabled by option NODATECOMPARISON) are checked.

Matching files are hidden in both listers. Of the different files,

only the newer files and those missing in the other lister are

selected.

This replicates the 'Mark newer, hide same' function of Windows tool

Total Commander.

Only file names, size and date (if not switched off by the

NODATECOMPARISON argument) are compared, not the file contents

themselves.

I take no responsibility for errors, but you are welcome to report bugs

to me.

CHANGES

=======

1.2 (18.03.2024)

- Added the optional argument HIDEINFOS. When this is set, all .info

files in source and target lister are considered as matching and are

hidden. This helps to keep an eye on the files themselves and not

their icons.

1.1 (26.09.2023)

- The lister entries for the comparison are now read directly from the

lister using DOpus API calls. Thus, as of this version, this module

also works with listers from the ArcDir or XADopus archive modules,

for example. This was not possible in version 1.0, where only

dos.library calls were used to read the files from the lister paths.

- Added the optional argument NODATECOMPARISON. If this is set, the

files will be treated as if they have the same date, regardless of

their date stamps.

- Added the source code of this module

1.0 (17.09.2022)

- Initial version
