TC stand-alone Sync Dirs & read-only files

Post by *ND »

While using the stand-alone Synchronize Dirs… tool ("[face=Courier]totalcmd.exe /S=S path1 path2[/face]"), during [Synchronize…] the process stopped (progress-meters stopped). I tracked this down to overwriting of read-only files: TC internal Sync Dirs pops a dialog asking for confirmation, but there is no dialog with the stand-alone tool (I had to [Cancel] the operation).

Confirmed.

Edit: Also the normal "should this file be overwritten" dialog is missing. The files are copied in any case. (without the readonly case)

The problem with read-only files is fixed.
Now I can use the stand-alone sync tool the same way I've been using the internal tool.

Great, thanks! Please let me know if you find any other problem. For example, I had a crash when right clicking on the thumbnails in the overwrite dialog, but this should be fixed now too...
