How can I compare 2 directories ? I see a menu item in the context menu when I select 2 directories in the Project tree but the menu item is always disabled.

Yeah, I got impatient and submitted it myself already. And I should have known the answer too, because it's been this way for a long time. For those who didn't read the request and don't know the answer: Unfortunately IDEA doesn't compare directories, but you can use an external tool to compare directories. That enables the menu item. Personally I would recommend Beyond Compare or Araxis Merge.

Did you file a JIRA request?
