Treeit-lite

High performance duplicated file detector.
High performance directory compare and merge.


Essential tool for every software engineer. Version control system CAN'T DO AS YOUR EXPECTED! so this app developed. A small utility provides an intuitive and concise user interface to combine the content of two big folders. It accomplish the task in two steps with DIFFERENT algorithm that used by common version control systems, at the first step, the app scan the source and target folder to find out the difference, removed, new added, modified, conflicted file and folders, and at the same time, optionally check all duplicated items in both folder. At the second step, the app merge the compared result with user selected strategy. This practical tool can efficiently merge large amounts of media files such as photos, office documents, pdf files, audio and videos for normal users. Advanced users also can write scripts that cooperate with version control systems, e.g, Git and Mercurial, etc. In addition, of course, user also can directly use the app to generate coloured changes between two plain text file and print to pdf file or paper.


Features
---------------------------
a. Find duplicated files in the selected folder with high performance.
b. Efficiently edit file side-by-side with compared result.
c. Generate file list for removed, new added, duplicated, modified and conflicts in source and target folder with amazing speed.
d. Pair modified, duplicated and conflicted source and target files together for conveniently review them before merging.
e. Generate coloured changes between source and target file, line by line, character by character.
f. Detect difference of binary files with content and file attributes when do comparing operation.
g. Merging strategy includes: "always overwrite", "keeping the newest", and "keep both".
h. Speed up comparing process by filter file, ignore particular folder and files by user defined rules.
i. Export coloured PDF file by diff operation for file changes.

Compared Result Types
---------------------------
a. "+": this file or folder does not exist in target folder.
b. "-": this file or folder does not exist in source folder.
c. "O": can't do an overwrite operation, conflicted with target file or folder.
d. "M": this file was modified comparing with the target file.
e. "R": this file should be renamed, conflicted with target file that has a different content.
f. "D": duplicated file in source or target folder.


Merge Strategy
---------------------------
1. "Always overwrite": mandatorily overwrite the target file if conflict occurred.
2. "Keeping the newest": the source file will overwrite target file if source file is newer.
3. "Keep both": copy the source file to target file located folder and rename that file if conflict occurred.
