[BUG] Directory Sync filter reset
When Directory Sync is called, the filter is reset to *.*, at least this is what should be expected.
As soon as one manually applies a filter starting with *.* – for example *.* | *.dll – this one is used instead on each restart and it's not possible anymore to reset to *.* besides manually cleaning the wincmd.ini [Selection] section.
Edit:
Workaround is to enter the file filter *.*{SPACE}, then TC adds X=*.* entry in wincmd.ini and chooses that one on start. If this entry is not present it uses the first entry starting with *.*.
So, I suggest to either remember the file filter ALWAYS, not only for *.* entries, or to always IGNORE the [Selection] section on start.

Hmm, not here - and my list is full of these entries! Can you send me your [Selection] section, please?

There's not much to send, it happens directly after creating the first entry, just use this one:
This one works, but I had to create it manually as *.* is not added by TC:

Code: Select all
[Selection]
0=*.* | *.dll
Code: Select all
[Selection]
0=*.* | *.dll
1=*.*

I can confirm this behavior:
If you exclude a filetype with "*.*|*.ext" the filter isn't reset anymore to "*.*". It seems that TC only reads the leading "*.*" and assumes that ther follows nothing.
This error occurs in V 6.53 v 6.54pb2 while 6.03 works fine here.

PLEASE, send me your ini sections! As I wrote, I have many such entries, but none of them is chosen automatically, just *.*!

OK, I found the problem - it's Windows itself which seems to do that! I will add *.* manually to the dropdown list (as the first item) to avoid this problem.
Thanks for your help in finding the reason of this problem!

Thanks a lot, problem solved
Even a new drawback is raised:
Instead of having no *.* entry anymore, now there is a magic increase of *.* entries with each call of MRT.
- start the MRT
- choose a list-entry different from *.*
- start a compare
- close MRT
- start MRT again
=> the list shows one more *.* entry

I assume you don't refer to the Multi Rename but to Synchronize Dir Tool.
Under this prerequisite I can not confirmed this here.
Section before compare:
I select *.doc. Then the section looks like this:
maybe ther is something else to reproduce this (Pls try with fresh ini /i=...)
