Please describe as succinctly as possible: - What happened. - What you thought should have happened. - Precisely what you were doing at the time. On Unix, when comparing Directories via the menu sequence Tools-Compare-Two Directories, for directory A, you get a Dialog Box titles "Directory A To Compare:". You can select the first directory and then have to press return to dismiss the dialog box (not intuitive). The set up in version 20.4 was better where you get the file dialog box with it's OK cancel button. When you dismiss the "Directory A To Compare:" dialog box, having made your selection, the second directory has to be entered in the mini buffer at the bottom of the screen, rather than showing the previous dialog box. Overall, the sequence in version 20.4 is better since you get the file dialog box for directory B as well, as you would expect. On Windows, when you repeat the abhove menu sequence, you get the standard windows file selection dialog which simply won't accept a directory as the final selection before dismissing the dialog box. I have to invoke compare directories from the mini buffer to get directory comparison to work.
