XFE file manager, adding a directory compare function

Sometimes its useful to compare the contents of two directories. Here's how to add this function to XFE.

-Download the file compdir.pet and install it (this will install /root/.config/xfe/scripts/compdir.sh).

-choose: Copy
-right click the 2nd directory you want to compare to
-choose: Scripts>compdir.sh

The Compare Directories window will open
