Beyond Compare is a great tool for those who need to compare the files and folders on their Windows system.
Beyond Compare is a simple utility that allows users to quickly and easily compare their files and folders.
It allows to view the differences between files or folders compared using several methods of comparison such as CRC check, comparison of text, data, versions, MP3 comparison, image and hexadecimal comparison, file attributes, binary comparison, MP3 comparison, and others. It displays items compared side by side or above and below components and highlights their differences.
Text files can be edited with the integrated editor and it is possible to determine specific rules for documents, source code and HTML files.
Beyond Compare allows to upgrade the files, synchronize directories, check the copies of data, or to analyze the differences of the source code files and finally generate reports of recordings.
