| Add/Edit a pair window |
The main purpose of the Add/Edit a pair window is to allow you to select/change folders you want to compare. Moreover you can manage folders: create, rename and delete a folder, view folder properties and explore a folder with Windows explorer.
The selected folders pair is displayed at the bottom part of the window in the group Folder pair to add. You can type UNC path (like \\My Server\Data) in the text boxes. The check Add pair with subfolders defines how to compare folders: with or without their subfolders.
You can use environment variables in folder paths. Clicking on blue labels %USERPROFILE% and %USERNAME% would add the variables names into active combobox. Clicking on the button 'Variables list' to open list of environment variables and their values.
When you select/type a folder pair click Ok button. The pair will be added/changed into the Comparing folders wizard page.
