When I do a comparison of two drives, BC3 appears to recalculate everything from scratch. With a lot of files, this takes a looooonng time. In most cases, it also seems unnecessary, as very little has changed.
It would help if BC3 gave me an option of saving the results of a previous CRC comparison on my drive. Then, when I did a new comparison, it could start with folder size, subfolder size, and finally file size, to identify those places where there appeared to be a change, and could do a quick CRC just in those places. Basically, I want to click and have a more or less instant response, highlighting folders where there appear to have been changes, and then working ahead to clarify precisely where and what they were.
Sorry if there's a solution to this that I haven't come across or understood within the BC3 menus.
