Using BeyondCompare

We use BeyondCompare to compare files and folders


I configure FreeCommander to use this program on
Settings-Programs-CompareFiles

C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 2\BC2.exe

It works fine when selected 2 files, FreeCommander send the 2 files in bc2.exe command line

BC2.exe "C:\Folder1\file1.txt" "C:\Folder2\file2.txt"


But in most cases we need to compare 2 folders, if i select 2 folders FreeCommander don't send any command line to the program


Beyond Compare expects this
BC2.exe "C:\Folder1" "C:\Folder2"


You thing is possible to send command line when selecting 2 folders

thanks

I also use BeyondCompare, so thanks for that tip !

I`ve always opened it manually in the past.
