Jim Robinson Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Or you could try a DOS command and save yourself the 20 bucks: Copy the code below to Notepad and save it on your desktop as baseball.bat. Right click, chose "Edit", then change the src= and dest= paths to reflect the actual paths of the two folders you want to compare. Save. Double click the .bat file and it will write an xcopy.txt file to the desktop with a list of the missing 5 textures. All this does is give you a list, it won't touch anything within your specified folders at this point. If you want it to actually copy the missing 5 textures from Texture “A†into texture “B†just remove the [space][slash][lower case L] /l just before > "xcopy.txt". set src=C:\Path\to\Folder\with\64 files set dest=C:\Path\to\Folder\with\59 files xcopy "%src%" "%dest%" /c /e /r /D /y /i[color="#FF0000"] /l[/color] > "xcopy.txt" notepad "xcopy.txt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 You take all the files in folder 'B' (64 files) and COPY (***but ** DO NOT ** OVERWRITE any files***) to folder 'A' (59 files). The files that are missing might just have a different file name? It helps to compare the FILE SIZE, etc by right click, and then choose Properties / Details.

CRJ_simpilot Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Or you could try a DOS command and save yourself the 20 bucks: When I downloaded Diffmerge I don't recall paying for it. Winmerge is another alternative. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

Jim Robinson Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I just read the "Register" page and it said $19 so I assumed it was payware. You're right though, I downloaded and installed it and there's a nag screen but it works without paying. Apparently there's some special features you don't get in the free version. Here's what the nag screen says: SourceGear DiffMerge is an award-winning file diff and merge tool that has been helping professional developers and hobbyists since 2007. SourceGear DiffMerge is licensed for use free of charge. However, by registering DiffMerge you will help fund new product development, maintenance, and support. As a way of thanking our registered users and encouraging additional registrations, we have added some new features in 4.2 - such as HTML Export - that are only available to registered users. Select new features in future releases will also require registration, but core features and fixes will be available to everyone.. Click here for more information. Thank you for your support! Still like the DOS command better, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
