Project->Add Tree help
« on: September 23, 2021, 08:31:51 PM »
HelpBug: Missing description for "Create parent directory folder".
Text problem: "directory folder" seems redundant. Is it a directory, or a folder?
I've always thought of "directory" and "folder" as synonyms. Windows generally uses "folder", and linux uses "directory".

Question: What does this checkbox do?


General comment: "directory" and "folder" seems to get used interchangeably, and not really consistently. I found this in the DIFFZills Files Tab help:
Quote
When comparing folders, set Path 1 and Path 2 to directory names.

Added docs for this check box for beta 4.

Directory and Folder are somewhat interchangeable. Directory always refers to a directory on disk. Where as folder may or may not mean a directory on disk and can just indicate something that contains other stuff (like a project folder).
