Hello,
I want to compare two directories and see what files are different, however, the comparison should ignore timestamps of files. Is there a simple solution?
I had assumed that ediff would also consider files in subdirectories of the directory paths given for comparison. Apparently, it does not do that in Emacs 23.4.1 - is there a "recursive" option?
Many thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
Stefan

You might have better luck on the emacs list. That said, did you look
at `ediff-directories'?
Hope this helps,

Oops! I missed the part you already tried it and it doesn't meet your
needs. Sorry about that.

That's also my tool of choice. Combined with the key sequene "= h x",
which shows you only the files which differ.
`ediff-directories' is not recursive, but it gives you also subdirectory
pairs to compare. Just hit enter on such a pair.
As bonus, it even works for remote directories.
Best regards, Michael.
