Hello,
"Compare files by: content" means binary comparison for the files in the
compared directories, with a result of identical/not identical for each
pair of compared files. It does not apply the algorithm set in the
"Default algorithm" combo box as this combo is not located in the
Directories Comparison section of the dialog. That algorithm is applied
only for file comparison. You guessed the reason yourself - an expensive
algorithm like XML Accurate applied for each pair of files would take
too much time.
Regards,
Sorin

I am using 'compare directories' and have set the preference to "Compare
files by: content".
I have set the file comparison algorith to "XML Accurate" but this seems
to apply only to the file comparison itself and not to whether or not
the files are listed as different in the directory comparison window.
Is there a way to apply the selected file comparison algorithm to
determine if the files show as different in the compare directories
window? I know it will take some time if you choose one of the more
expensive algorithms and there are a lot of files but I would find this
very useful.
