All Comparisons
Find it under Settings > New Comparisons > All Comparisons. The tab of an active text or folder comparison has the same page, for that comparison alone.
On the New Comparisons tab this page is headed Default Settings for New Comparisons. Use it to change the following settings, common to file and folder comparisons:
| Setting | Description | Default |
