parallelization of folder comparision

[Jörg Sichermann]

Hi all out there,

everytime I start folder-comparison (a very huge one on a very fast computer), I notice that there is only one proces collecting all files and doing the comparision. I think, it is possible to this very faster with multiple threads, because all folders are located on SolidState-Disks.

I searched the forum for parallelization, openMP, thead support e.t.c., but could not find anything about that.

Just, how do you think about that?

PS.: Sorry for my bad english - Ich gelobe Besserung

But How does it happen? I am still in a fix for it's solutions..Can you elaborate it further?

Hi DaneilKevin,

what do you mean? Give me a try. I want winmerge starts multiple threads. So that the comparison of two directories gets faster. The hard disk and the CPU are not saturated in the moment.
