[BUG] Compare results doesn't show files in directories that look like file names with periods in folder name.

Open 0xebjc opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

When comparing recursively into a folder hierarchy, if a folder name looks like a typical windows file name, for example has a dot and three characters after the period in the folder name, for example folder name is "breesehome_fully_upgradable.esp"

The compare results fails to show the actual file names and doesn't show anything past the folder name.

It might just look like a bug because the Filename column is too narrow. Could you try widening the column?

You were correct, it's just the filename column being too short. Sorry I didn't realize it didn't auto expand file names
