Hello,
I’d like to introduce you to a really nice piece of free software that can fill a small gap in XYplorer — although I’m not 100% sure whether this is actually not possible with XYplorer!
With this tool, many different formats can be compared, and changes can be transferred manually in a very convenient way.

Just a little IMHO/review.
The good things:
+ it's free
+ supports Win7 (for now)
The bad things:
- it's limited to only folders and text files compare
- it's based on .NET 8
Overall, probably a good tool when you have quite new PC and need free utility.
Just as a side note, not an advertisement simply to mention a competitor, i've being using Beyond Compare for years = it's paid, but has more compare abilities(like images, hex, audio), and standalone.

Hi, i have read often about Beyond Compare,
It’s a big name.
I was actually looking for a tiny little tool to compare TXT files from XYtoolbar.
When I find software like this - free, lightweight, portable, and doing a great job for exactly what I need -and I have never read about this before - I feel like I’ve just discovered Bumblebee from Transformers.
