This is an operation that should take a few seconds at the most if folder A has files and folder B doesn’t. If the file doesn’t even exist, no need to hash, yet the app must be doing SOMETHING during the many minutes, sometimes hours, it spends processing a folder with thousands of files that turns out to have no corresponding files in the other folder. When you diff two folders A and B, I believe it’s hashing every single file in folder A before it even checks whether the file exists in file B. Please note the issues mentioned in my review are NOT fixed in version 2.1. As it is, it should be an embarassment to Black Pixel. But then, the flaws are so huge, and so easy to fix, one wonders if the team that developed it has forgotten about it.

The UI itself is clean minimalist something someone that appreciate Mac style would appreciate, IMHO.
The following focuses on code diffs, as that's what I've used: Totally neat that it's flexible enough to diff a wide variety of things that's a cool surprise.
