Folder Compare view shows all sub-folders as well as files in sub-folders

[brady-kelly]

It looks like DiffMerge does a recursive query for all files and folders in the two folders selected to compare, and displays all this information at once.

If I select the CrossCut.SelfService.Logic folder on the left and a similar one on the right, when the Show Folders button is selected, it shows this:

CrossCut.SelfService.Logic.csproj
Models
Models\ECWGetProfileResponseModel.cs
Models\IndividualInformation.cs
Models\RegistrationLookup.cs
Models\RegistrationMsisdnLookup.cs
Services
Services\AthenaService.cs
Services\CassandraService.cs
Services\ECWService.cs

It's very untidy and hard to navigate and find items you want to compare. I feel that maybe Show Folders could be renamed to Folders View, and this view should only show the sub-folders and not their contents. Then when you double-click or otherwise select a sub-folder for compare, then the view should show only the contents of the selected sub-folder. Example, it should first show:

CrossCut.SelfService.Logic.csproj
Models
Services

Then if I double click or otherwise select Models to compare, it shows:

ECWGetProfileResponseModel.cs
IndividualInformation.cs
RegistrationLookup.cs
RegistrationMsisdnLookup.cs

That has been my much more comfortable and better UX with other compare tools.
