Non-Duplicate File Finder?

F

filthy-mcnasty

I have 3 Folder Trees, each containing about 150,000 files. Each Tree
should contained all the files in each of the others. One is sorted by
origin (5,000 SubFolders), one by Name (40 Alpha-Numeric SubFolders), one
by Category/Purpose (60 SubFolders). During a recent idiot moment with a
duplicate finder I accidentally lost some files from each tree (It didn't
have a Recycle Bin Option). Is there a sort of reverse duplicate file
finder that can present me with a list of files that are unique to each
tree? I really don't want to run through over 5,000 folders one at a time

Help, please. I will have your babies (If you give me the recipe)

Thankyou

I am just about to, thanks to you. However website says examdiff doesn't
do directories, though Pro version can. Still grateful for one more
useful looking tool for the armoury

About the babies. Ummm.... Anyway, you didn't send the recipe. And "A
Modest Proposal" - http://art-bin.com/art/omodest.html - does not count

Thanks

You can compare folder one and subdirectories, to folder two and
subdirectories, to get a "unique" list in Winmerge. You can then
compare folder three and subdirectories, to either/both of the other
two.

The "recipe" is simple. Your name is Will. To have my babies you will
need to reincarnate. As a female.

Regards, John.

Thankyou, and fortunately my karma is just tarnished enough for you to
have a very long wait

And a few more.

Thank you, thank you, thank you - Repeat several more times for your
previous posts

And I don't think I can handle multiple births
