How to use Selected File Set Change Auditor
Review before/after local files without filesystem access beyond your selections. The report distinguishes changed same-name files, additions, removals and uniquely matching removed/added content while preserving ambiguity for duplicate copies.
- Enter before files, after files.
- Choose the settings for selected file set change auditor, then run the tool.
- Review the result and any limitations before copying or downloading it.
Good to know
- 20 nonempty file selections per set, unique exact names of at most 200 characters and 8 MiB combined source bytes across both sets. Empty file contents are allowed.
- Files stay local and are not modified. Content equality does not establish rename history, timestamps, permissions, directory structure or provenance; ambiguous duplicate content is not assigned a move.
- Processing is local. Output is limited to 1,000,000 text characters unless a stricter file limit is stated.
Common questions
Can two identical copies be reported as a definite rename?
No. A suggested move requires one removed file and one added file with matching hash, length and bytes. Duplicate candidates remain in the added/removed lists for manual review.
Is this input sent to a server?
No. The application processes this input inside your browser tab and does not save it to persistent storage.
