3 pane compare. Extremely useful for resolving conflicts when programming.
Decent compare tool, but as of today Diffinity (free) is much better.
A great program for those who want to get into intensive file merging. I do, however, think that there should be a simplified method for merely appending one file to another.
Just needed to find why two folders had different qty of items. WM found the "missing" files in a couple of seconds. Easy-peasy.
Versatile and fast! Fires up in milliseconds.
Works well with comparing folders and files.
Very good app, unfortunately it doesn't have the capability to output difference reports like BC. In most engineering environments this is a must.
