Hi,
Although BC has been on my HD for a long time, I'm a novice user. I'm now seriously trying to find my way around what's always looked a rather dauntingly complex UI whenever I start it! So please excuse probably very basic questions:
1. Are the default settings OK for a 'basic folder compare'? Or must I carefully set up every option? As an end user, not a programmer or techie, suppose I simply want to compare two folders to identify any files with different content. Is there a no-brainer way to achieve that please? (The background is that I'm trying to keep some files on my XP PC in sync with the same files on my iPad and smartphone.)
2. I thought I'd save my first 'session', which involved using the Action menu. But I'm a bit confused by the apparent inconsistency between Help and the actual menu, as shown in this screenshot:
