Any GUI Linux directory comparison tools that work?
I tried KDIFF3, it crashes partway through comparison. I understand that v1.10 has a bug and crashes when a directory has symlinks in it, as my home folder does.
I tried KDIFF3 v1.12 via the abomination called Flatpak, but it also crashes partway through scanning.
I tried MELD, it just hangs there "scanning" but uses no CPU and is doing nothing...
Ideas?
@dancingtreefrog beyondcompare from scootersoftware, but it is not for free and not opensource, I am using it since 1997, it is very reliable and synchronizes even large files (> 2 GByte) or many files (> 100.000) without any problems, even over poor internet connections e.g. via ftp. Most tools crash with those requests. It has a simple scripting engine also.
