synchronize directories, new eol and white space character options

Post by *andry81 »

I use the TC almost everyday for a general purpose tasks and as Windows Explorer replacement. But, there is plenty things which might be better in the TC than before. One of these is incomplete options set for "Synchronize directories" dialog.

I want to be able to make synchronization of directories with a partial content compare for text files. These additional options set seems reasonable for that:

* [ ] EOL = \n=\r\n=\r (all line endings are the same)
* [ ] EOL = EOL EOL ... EOL (repeated line ending is a single)
* [ ] WS = " "=\t (all white spaces are the same)
* [ ] WS = WS WS ... WS (repeated white space is a single)

("[ ]" - stands for check box)

Is there a chance to see it in the future versions?

On another hand i could implement it by myself through the content plugin which guide for it can be found here:
https://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm#content
https://plugins.ghisler.com/content/wdx_filesys_src.zip

But there is some problems on the way. The first one is in the "User-defined compare functions by file type" dialog which suggests only a single selection function, when mine plugin should be used for a multiselection function. Of course i could generate 4*4=16 choices, but it is pretty unreasonable.

Is there a way to extend the "User-defined compare functions by file type" dialog for a mutiselection too?
Or even maybe add these mutiselection fields directly to the "Synchronize directories" dialog to the currently empty GUI space?

And by the way, thanks for the great tool!
