This method goes through this process every time you use it. Otherwise, when you use it next time, beyond compare will get the earliest time you used it based on the data left in these files during your use this time. I haven't found a once-and-for-all cracking method. If other netizens have a better method, I look forward to leaving a message to let you know.
