I prefer Winmerge to Diffmerge.
But the one thing I envy is diffmerge's folder diff feature.

Diffmerge shows, for complecate folders and subfolders, only different files(not folders).
Winmerge shows different files and equal files and subfolders. Winmerge has a feature which can show only different files. But it still shows subfolders. So I have to enter in the subfolders then should check different files.

I'd like to keep using WinMerge.
How do I do this in WinMerge?

I've JUST come across this and am looking for a solution. I hope you find your answer. – Dave Jun 23 '11 at 18:42
I've already use Beyond Compare but it is not free. It is much better than those ones. – kokbira Jul 4 '11 at 20:54
@kokbira: Yes, it is. But it's not free :) – Benjamin Jul 5 '11 at 1:36
I still use WinDiff for all of my folder differencing (and TortoiseDiff for code differencing and on the rare occasion when I need to do any significant differencing of binary files, I have found HexCmp to be good). – Synetech Jul 6 '11 at 6:21

So easy :)

In Winmerge, go to menu View and uncheck "Tree mode"

I used diffmerge instead of winmerge for a long time justly because that "feature" that I did not found in winmerge. but after your bounty, I downloaded it and viewed that miraculous option XD – kokbira Jul 4 '11 at 20:59
Yes it was so easy. I haven't check Include Subfolders yet. I was mis-using the tool. Thanks. – Benjamin Jul 5 '11 at 1:48
