Two fairly simple buttons that compare the file / folder names of any two folders opened in a dual file display lister.

Show Uniques: Shows files / folders that exist only in one of the two opened folders.
Show Doubles: Shows files / folders that exist in both of the opened folders.

Examples:

Here you see have a dual display lister. Note the contents of each folder.

Additional Features

  • Toggle - Both buttons have the ability to toggle on and off.

  • Self disable - Both buttons will disable if not in dual lister mode and each button can recognize when the other is in use and disable itself.

Neat idea, I'll use it, thank you. :slight_smile:

I'd suggest editing that to:
files / folders whose name exist only in one of the two opened folders

since DESTTOSOURCE only checks file names.
