It feels like this was a very long time in the making, but all the little bits of time here and there probably still amount to a recent number of man-hours... It took a couple of attempts to get "An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and Its Variations" by Eugene W. Myers in an implementation of my own that performed to my liking. I've chosen to use xxHash to speed things up. Once I got that, I continued the grand re-work of DirDiff so it would accept, not 2 files, but n files (or folders); handle the work in background threads, and have both the folder-overview (and XML three) and content in the same window. In case anyone would like to have a peek inside, I've decided to open-source it as well, under the MIT license on github
