Is it possible to change the comparison precedence so that with "Ignore Folder Structure (Flatten)" enabled, Beyond Compare looks at file size, to attempt to match, before looking at the folder path/name?
I'm using "Ignore Folder Structure (Flatten)" but Beyond Compare is comparing files with the same name but are different but actually there are identical files that it is missing.
In other words, for example, the left hand side has file1 with 200 bytes in size, Beyond Compare compares is with file1 on the right hand side but 400 bytes. But also on the right hand side is file1 in another path which is 200 bytes and identical to file 1 on the left hand side.
If "Ignore Folder Structure (Flatten)" was enabled and with the ability to change the precedence of comparison criteria, such that file size was looked at first, then Beyond Compare would do the desired comparison in the above case.
