Text Comparison Summary Dialog

Bring up this dialog to see a summary of the folder comparison results.

Part of the information—the number of text blocks—is identical with the information presents the status bar comparison summary panels; the other part—the number of lines—is specific to this dialog.

The summary for two-way comparisons includes the numbers of blocks and lines of text that are same, different, added, and deleted between the first and the second file (text editor).

In the case of three-way folder comparison each of these numbers represents the sum of the respective numbers of the first & ancestor and the second & ancestor pairs. Additionally, the number of blocks and lines of text containing conflicting differences is shown as well.
