Indication of difference between files without comparing each one individually
During folder comparison you're shown a list of all files (which ones are new, missing, different, same). If, from this view, I could see an indication of HOW different they are. I would like to quickly, at a glance, see "this file has been slightly altered" or "this file was completely rewritten." Again, the idea being quickly, without individually comparing each file (for large directories, this is quite time consuming).
This could be simply "Number of Lines Changed" or "Percentage of Lines Changed" or a little bar graph in between each differing file. Just a quick, way to get a feel for what's really different.

This would be a great addition. +/- lines changed count on every file.

Yes, I was searching for that feature, I installed your software few days ago, and it is really nice by the way :) (I was using Araxis Merge before, and it offers this feature which is really helpful).
In my opinion, this is really a must have, and should not be so complicated. A "display number of diffs" would be perfect !
Hope this will be implemented.
Thanks,

Yes, that is a very interesting feature to incorporate. If we could extract percentage about similarity or differences between folders, this would be great.
One feature that would not be difficult to incorporate, as it would take the red lines, green and blue, and establish their relationship with the whole.
