I've been reading doc & forum posts on this matter, but still don't get it:
Doc says: "If a file filter determines that a file on one side of the comparison should be hidden but the corresponding file on the other side should be visible, both are made visible and the one that should be hidden will be colored teal (blue-green)."
OK - but why are the "excluded" files still being compared (I'm using Compare contents: Rules-based comparison)? I thought the whole point of an exclude filter was that (per the doc): "You can exclude files from a folder session based on criteria".
Can anyone please help me?
Objective: Compare 2 servers (one windows, one linux) via ftp to both servers, but I only want to compare files modified after 12/31/2017 on the Windows server.
I was expecting the files older than 1/1/2018 to be marked in teal (if they also exist on the target), but for BC4 to NOT compare anything else other than filename to align. Instead, it is doing a contents file compare (very expensive)...
