Newbie question - Bold Red files are identical



Hi,

I'm a brand new user, trying to figure out how to use it.  It seems intuitive, but I'm confused. 

I need to compare hundreds of files in dozens of directories.

I have the "pristine" copy of dir structure & files in the left pane.  In the right I have the dir structure which contains files which are to some degree different from the pristine copy.

I have the "New" and "Modified" buttons upper right depressed.

When I compare the two I have many files in bold red.   That, I believe means that the files are different, right?   When I R-click a file and "Compare" the files open left and right pane, and a lightbulb with     "Files are identical"  shows on both files.

Why are files which are identical flagged in red bold?

And I *finally* found two files, bold red, which when I compare, yes, the two are different and I can see the difference in the code.  So that diffeernce report is accurate.

How do I see ONLY the files which are different?

Thanks much,

Greg Beyer
