ops v0.37.0's
ops.Compare and pdfops compare, on the ribbon from app v0.53.0 as
Compare with a file.

Two pages, because it is two things: the library verb on Rearranging a file,
and the control on The workbench.

⛔ Both say the pages are paired by what they say, not by their numbers,
which is the whole design: a page inserted in the middle moves nothing after
it, and pairing by number would report every page from there to the end as
changed — both useless and false.

⛔ And the workbench page says the direction, because a reader who has it
backwards reads every addition as a deletion: the file chosen is the earlier
version, the document open is the later one, and the report says so in those
words.

ops v0.37.0's ops.Compare and `pdfops compare`, on the ribbon from app v0.53.0
as `Compare with a file`.

Two pages: the library verb on "Rearranging a file", the control on "The
workbench".

⛔ Both say THE PAGES ARE PAIRED BY WHAT THEY SAY, NOT BY THEIR NUMBERS, which
is the whole design: a page inserted in the middle moves nothing after it, and
pairing by number would report every page from there to the end as changed.

version, the document open is the later one, and the report says so in those
words.
