Yes, there is "Quick - Size only - Thorough" but when I press one of
those buttons, only all files are selected and the size is compared. But
I want to create a diff-file like:

# diff directory_marked_left directory_marked_right > .mc/diff1

the result should be something like:
[...]
Only in teledat_usb: TODO~
Only in ../AVM/SuSE8.1/fritz/: c4l-lib-2002.11.20-1.i386.rpm
Only in ../AVM/SuSE8.1/fritz/: c4l-sys-2002.09.13-1.i386.rpm
Only in teledat_usb: capi4linux
Only in ../AVM/SuSE8.1/fritz/: compile-help-english.txt
Only in ../AVM/SuSE8.1/fritz/: compile-help-german.txt
Only in teledat_usb: configure
Only in teledat_usb: configure.functions
Only in teledat_usb: configure.functions~
Only in teledat_usb: configure~
[..]

Or sometimes I like to do this automatic by mc:

diff file_marked_left file_marked_right > .mc/file_diff1

and result should be:

[...]

[...]

I hope now it't better so understand what I want to do. ;-)

thanks
Andreas
