Compare Folders Select Newest - unexpected results
Mathias (Author):
It might in part. But it does not explain the extra selected files that are unique in one of the panel. ( unless you happen to select "newest and missing" options)
I do not have a FAT32 disk here at the moment so I can not test and confirm if that is the problem. But I will check it out.
I will see if there can be a way to modify the resolution of the time, if that turns out to be the issue.

Latest Beta RC (874) should work better.
MikeC:
I installed build 876.
It does not appear to work any better. Again, I am comparing Windows 7 NTFS folder with a USB Sandisk Cruzer FAT32 folder.
I selected "Edit --> Compare Folders, Select Missing".
See the 1st attached image.
The file "IPod Shuffle 2nd Generation..." is selected in left pane (NTFS) correctly because it is not in the right pane (FAT32).
The file "Just reset it.pdf" selected in the left pane also exists in the right pane. It should not be selected?
This is just one example of many that are selected in the left pane but also exist in the right pane. The 2nd attached image contains another example.
(see subsequent reply for a continuation of this since size of three gif files exceeded 192KB limit)
MikeC:
(continuation of prior reply)
Then I selected "Edit --> Compare Folders, Select Newest".
The the attached image shows part of the results. Again, on both left and right panes, files are selected that have the same date and time. (for this image, the left pane shows two selected files and the right shows three).

That is very strange.
All tests I do here, it works. Don't really know why it does not work for you. It should.
NTFS vs FAT only matters when comparing using time. There might be some daylight saving or timezone stuff effecting the FAT32 time.
because some files look to have an diff of exact 1h.. (but not sure since seconds is not shown)
