    Folder Compare - Ignore Files and Compare Only Folders

    Is it possible to compare only folders, ignoring all files? I want to know that the same folder and subfolder hierarchy exists in two places.

    Yes, you can set your file name filter to "-*.*" or go to the Tools menu -> Options dialog, Toolbars/Etc section, set the dropdown to Folder Compare, and enable the Show None display filter.

    Once you are set to Show None or -*.*, then set the folder view mode to Always Show Folders or Compare Files and Folder Structure.

    How does this work for you?

      Sorry for the delay.

      File name filter -*.* works great.

      I stumbled onto Session, Session Settings, Name Filters, put *.* in Exclude files.

      I'm not following your Tools, Options dialog solution.
