Synchronize Dirs - Suppress error messages HIDDEN,READONLY
Hi there, this is annoying me long time already.
I am synchronizing large volumes (2TB) and do this usually over night.
Only few things can be more annoying than checking the next morning, just to find a error message "File xxxxxxx is READ ONLY ! Delete anyway ?".
OF COURSE !
But the error popped up 30 minutes after start and there is still 8 hours to go....
Can you PLEASE add the selection here - before starting the Synchro - to "IGNORE ALL ERRORS" or "ANSWER ALL YES" ?
Would be such an improvment !
Regards

Just click on the "Options" button in the F5 copy dialog, you can find these options there.

You can turn off the questions for hidden/system and read only files in Configuration - Options - Misc. And you can check to overwrite all in the sync tool copy dialog.

Thank you I got it working if I use:
1) Configuration > Misc. > uncheck confirmation for overwriting/deleting hidden/system and read only.
2) in Synchronize Dirs start copy progress
3) uncheck "confirm overwrites"
4) no messages appear when syncronizing
However there is a little bug in it: (TC 8.0ß21)
1) Configuration > Misc. > uncheck confirmation for overwriting/deleting hidden/system and read only.
2) in Synchronize Dirs start copy progress
3) keep "confirm overwrites" checked
4) at the first normal file that will be overwritten a popup will show up: "Overwrite file?" > choose "overwrite all"
5) further messages appear "overwrite hidden or system?"
Could you please fix it in upcoming betas?
Idea:
Perhaps you should add another filter-button: show only hidden/system/readonly files that would be overwritten.

I don't think that it's a bug - if I remember correctly, I'm showing hidden/system warnings there because the sync tool shows them even if hidden/system files are disabled in the rest of the program.

Could you please use the "hidden/system warnings" in Synchronize Dirs too? (in both cases)
Otherwise I would ask you to add a new wincmd.ini option for it.
Please?

I don't understand - you unchecked the confirmation options, so why should they be shown if the user unchecks confirmations?Even if this is the case it is a bug, because the popups are not shown in the first case below.

IMO its inconsistent, because the Configurations are partly considered. I ask you to always follow the Configuration or to add a wincmd.ini switch.
What would be the advantage of not considering the Configuration in each case? Could you please clarify that?

As I wrote, it's shown because hidden/system files are considered by sync even if you don't show them in the main program. But then there would be no way for unattended copying, so the checkbox "Confirm overwrites" works as a "catch all" option.

I usually uncheck the checkbox "Confirm overwrites", but sometimes I forget about it. In this case this additional messages bug me.
Could you please add a wincmd.ini switch?

The "Confirm Overwrites" in the copy dialog does not cover "System/Hidden" files, and the related message - often long time after I start the "Synchronise" process - are the ones annoying me.
Of course I did uncheck that option for the regular files.
I want to be "in charge", so I want to be able to determine that I do not care about any possible System/Hidden files in the folder.
(those are usually some hidden thumbnail indexes and crap like that)
However, I was not aware of the optional checkboxes in "Configurations" - "Options".
How did I miss them. Maybe added by a newer version ?
Anyway, thank you for the feedback, TOTAL COMMANDER IS GREAT !
Just want to emphasize this again.
I love your software and the features.
