I tried it, too. duc-nox ui /path/to/dir (k/t man duc-nox) gets you something interactive that you can navigate through by using the arrow keys.. the "ls -R" path looks very *cognitively friendly* for comparing multiple directories for changes. YES, I've tried other methods, but primarily "diff" comes to mind. Stumbled around while trying to use them because the information wasn't, I don't know how to express it, it just wasn't cogitatin'. This one looks like what *my brain* visually needed for that task. :) Duc-nox... well, it's probably more the terminal's default itself... honors the "duc-nox ls -R /var/log > ducNikonPics2018" [print to file] deal, too. That's the bonus feature that will REALLY help me. #ThankYou from behind this keyboard, too! :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with duct tape *
