I often need to compare directories with 10s or 100s of GB of binary files in
them (generally between my internal and external drives). Coming from "Beyond
Compare", I'm used to directory comparisons relying only on file name,
date/time, and file size to decide which files differ, which are missing, etc.
Meld looks great, but seems to insist on comparing the contents of each file.
This is far too expensive an operation for big files. Am I missing some hidden
option that allows you to turn off "compare by contents" in the directory
comparison view? Would this be a difficult feature to add?
I can't seem to find any mention of this in the mailing list. I did a brief
search of bugzilla and came up with nothing. I'm running the latest version from
git. All I found were some blogs/articles mentioning this limitation in Meld.
Cheers,
Martin
