Yes, it looks like Total Commander gets the short DOS names on the left side, and the long names on the right. Did you perhaps turn off the display of long names via Configuration - Options - Display, and the right side shows an ftp connection where this option has no effect?
No, I didn't turned off the display of long names. It's still active. The right side is not a FTP connection. It's just a standard mapped network directory located somewhere on our servers.
The strange thing is, that the synchronizer shows the long name on both sides. (I made a screenshot but I cannot puplish it in the forum.). But when I make a printout I see the comparsion as stated in my first message.
Could it be that some of the names contain Russian characters instead of Latin? Some Russian characters look like their Latin counterparts, but have completely different codes.
Das ist eine gute Frage. Ich habe mal folgendes ausprobiert. Ich haben die Dateien auf dem Server komplett gelöscht und anschliessend alle Dateien erneut per "Synchronize" auf den Server geschoben.
Jedoch beim ersten Vergleich, konnten die selben Dateien nicht zugeordnet werden. Das würde doch gegen die Theorie der Russian Character sprechen, oder?!
I have a problem when syncing two folders, one local and one on FTP. In version 7.04 it works as expected. In all beta and RC versions it's not.
The problem is that all or almost all identical files are shown as being different, making the whole sync process useless.
In 7.04 only the actually different files show in the results.
I'm using asymmetric,subdirs and ignore date checked.
Please fix this. I use this feature many times a day and I always have to switch to 7.04 to make the syncs.
I just downloaded RC1 from the link you gave me and tested it, and you're right, it works like a charm.
Thanks and hope you fix it in the next RC. Until then I'll stick to RC1
EDIT: nope, RC1 doesn't work either. I tested it on one server first and it worked ok. Than I tried on a different server and the same thing happened all files in a folder were returned as different even though when double clicking them it says they're identical. So i guess it depends on the server.
But 7.04 still works ok on the same server/folder.
What i noticed is that the file sizes are different ( left from right ) even if, compared by content are identical. Maybe it has something to do with this.
Are these text files? There may be a difference in the line breaks. TC considers this for the case that the local file is in Windows format (CRLF) and the remote file is in Unix or Mac format (LF or CR only). But if the two don't match exactly, the file will appear as different.
They are php files. It could be a CRLF / LF or CR thing since I edit the files on Windows and upload them on a linux server but the strange thing is that if I sync and take a file that the sync says its different but on double click says its identical and copy it from the ftp server locally and then without opening the file on windows re-sync that file still ends up in the different files list. And even if it's a windows/linux encoding issue why does 7.04 work ok with the same files and servers?
