Comparison modes: by filedata and by content

ADCS allows to make comparison of duplicate files in two modes: by filedata and by files content. Comparison that based on filedata only will compare file's date/time, size and attributes that will be taken from files. Comparison that based on files content is like filedata comparison and additional does comparison of files content. Comparison by content is more reliably, but it may take more time.

You can switch this modes by clicking on the button Compare () in the Trees toolbar or select menu File|Content comparison (ALT+B). Switching to content mode will occur additional comparison of content for duplicate files which have the same size.

User interface has some differences for the modes. Filedata comparison mode has disabled some buttons on the Visibility filters shortcut and Visibility filters are changed. Also comparison table has different marks symbols for each mode.
