This one of many = help threads here that prompt me to ask: This is all about file name matching, no? And worst case, it requires exact name match. (I don't know how fuzzy/flexible these programs are.) How practical is it to think filename will be the same? Filenames are changed constantly by hosts & others. And if it's your own new scan you want to check, name match is meaningless.

Is it doing bitmap file analysis/comparison ("Computer Vision") or is it all about text, i.e., filenames?
