Beyond Compare is what most people where I work use. There's a Mac version available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Master Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 7 hours ago, kye said: So, I realised that it kept failing on these files beginning with "._" I realised that they were actually there, despite Finder not showing them to me when I put it into the mode for showing hidden files, so it was only the command line that revealed their existence. All UNIX, and UNIX-derived, systems hide files with names starting with "." from directory searches. You can see these using ls on the the command line with "ls -a" (or "ls -al" if you want more detail). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From any kind of perspective it's a non-place, so I'd rather be slightly further away from Sydney! Still much better than any other non-Auckland place in New Zealand! kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
