You can see paths for compared directories and actual filename filter in the pane above the head of the comparison table. Include filter is placed at end of the compared directory's path. On picture above the filter is *.* (include all files). Filter for exclude files is written in the brackets after include filter. On the picture exclude filter is *.gif (exclude GIF files).
- red tone on this button means that advanced include filter is used. Click on the button to see filter specification.
- this button allows to open View directory exclude patterns window.

You can see current browse paths in the pane above tabstop header of the comparison table. On picture above paths are C:\My Documents and E:\My Documents.

Here the compared directories are shown, and (if chosen by the user) also their subdirectories. Each subdirectory is delimited by a gray bar. The symbol in the middle defines the synchronization direction, which can be chosen by the user. The coloring of the text defines the default synchronization direction determined by the comparison:

Green (by default) Synchronizing from left to right
Blue (by default) Synchronizing from right to left
Black Files which are considered identical by current comparison rules (no synchronization direction)
Empty box Files which have equal timestamp and unequal size or attributes. These files are not considered identical by current comparison rules and have no synchronization direction because they have equal timestamps.

You can see these symbols in the comparison table in the comparison by content mode:

Green (by default) Synchronizing from left to right
Blue (by default) Synchronizing from right to left
Black equal Files have identical content and are considered identical by current comparison rules (no synchronization direction)
Red equal Files have identical content and are considered unequal by current comparison rules
Red unequal Files are unequal by content

The synchronization direction can be chosen for multiple files at the same time by following ways:

To select a file, click on it with the primary mouse button, or move the focus to the item using the arrow keys. To select additional files, hold down and click on a file, or move the focus to a file and press to select/unselect it. To select a range of files, first select the first item in the range, then select the last item in the range while holding down . To select all files, use the Mark|Select all files menu command.
Reorder files
The tabstop header allows to sort the list of compared files by name, extension, size, and date&time on the appropriate header. Clicking on the same headers reverses the order. A small arrow on the left of the header text shows the sort direction.
The tabstop header also allows to move the tabstop position of the list. To return back position of columns you have to click on the button Autosize in the Comparison table toolbar.
To sort files in compared directories:

Header Meaning
Name Sorting the files by name, then by extension
Ext Sorting the files by type (extension), then by name
Size Sorting the files by their size on disk, then by name, then by extension
Date Sorting the files by their creation date and time, then by name, then by extension

	Blue (by default)	Synchronizing from right to left
	Black	Files which are considered identical by current comparison rules (no synchronization direction)
	Empty box	Files which have equal timestamp and unequal size or attributes. These files are not considered identical by current comparison rules and have no synchronization direction because they have equal timestamps.
