Re: DirDiffVim for folders, but files are missed?

Thanks, I actually did use Meld, great GUI.

However, the sorting process needs digital automation.

Manually moving 1000's of files on several accounts is too slow and I haven't figured out how Meld could do that?

Since you are looking for a difference or resemblance in files and not
per se contence, I suggest using a command line tool like `diff` or a
graphical program like `meld`.

Both will provide you with differences and alikes in name, date, size,
etc.

Vim and vimdiff are for comaring text files, and you seem to need
something different.
