After the two databases are compared, if there are any differences detected, the above dialog is shown. Note: only the fields selected by the user are compared, so database could be shown as being identical when they are not due to the corresponding fields not being compared. By default, all fields are compared. However, if you select a different set, via the Advanced Settings dialog during Compare, then these fields will only be compared during this invocation of Password Safe unless you change then again via the Advance Settings dialog. The same is true for all the Wizard functions, although the values are independent:
There are a number of options available to the user if differences are detected:
In addition, multiple entries may be selected in the comparison database (left-click in the second column with the Ctrl key pressed for the second and subsequent entries). Once a number are selected, you can either "Copy All" of them to the current database or "Synchronize All" of them with their equivalent entries in the current database. Note: Synchronize will only be allowed if all selected entries are in also the current database. A protected entry in the current database cannot be included in any multiple selection as it cannot be changed. As in the main Tree view, the title field has a '#' appended to its value if the entry is protected.
