Ignore contents: compare by file name, date/time & size only

[Martin Spacek <gmane martinspacek mm st>]

I often need to compare directories with 10s or 100s of GB of binary files in 
them (generally between my internal and external drives). Coming from "Beyond 
Compare", I'm used to directory comparisons relying only on file name, 
date/time, and file size to decide which files differ, which are missing, etc.

Meld looks great, but seems to insist on comparing the contents of each file. 
This is far too expensive an operation for big files. Am I missing some hidden 
option that allows you to turn off "compare by contents" in the directory 
comparison view? Would this be a difficult feature to add?

I can't seem to find any mention of this in the mailing list. I did a brief 
search of bugzilla and came up with nothing. I'm running the latest version from 
git. All I found were some blogs/articles mentioning this limitation in Meld.

Cheers,

Martin
