Open the settings dialog by selecting menu "Options", "Settings..." or by pressing Ctrl-S. The settings dialog is displayed containing 4 tabs. The most important one is the action tab:
Here you can specify the action that should be taken if two files are different. To begin, choose one of the predefined templates from the template dropdown listbox.

To compare the source and destination directories entered in the path dialog, click the "Compare" button in the main window or select menu "File", "Compare".
