Beyond Compare is one of my favorite utilities. I imagine that others who use it are also keen to find BEST available solutions. I am interested to compare notes on tools that others find indispensable.
I'll start the ball rolling with this one:
KeyNote from www.trangloss.com
One of the features that I'd most like to see added to BC is file deduplication. Since BC computes signatures for files this should be possible. What I'd REALLY like is if it could list SIMILAR directories and facilitate purging of duplicated files. I believe BC 3.0 will do this. In the meantime the following may useful:
Diskstate from Raxco.com (or geekcorp.com)
NoClone from noclonegroup.brinkster.net
These are good at the file level but do not show similar directories or make deduplication at the directory level easy. So far I haven't found anything that does. I've posted a question on Google Answers and nobody has come up with anything. So... I'm hoping BC 3.0 won't be too long coming.
