WFX: is it possible to enable file comppare / synchronize?

Post by *Volker Bijewitz »

Hi,

I am working on a SVN WFX plugin. Is it possible to enable folder compare or synchronize in my plugin? As far as I have seen all files are treated as different, no files are read while comparing.

Is it maybe required to write an additional content plugin that implements the function "ContentCompareFiles"?

All the Best,

Hi,

I have found now more information about this issue:

1.) It seems that synchronizing by content does not work.
Is this possible at all? Any idea?

2.) Synchronizing of a copy marks all files of the copy newer
That seems to be OK, the copy has newer date

3.) Synchronizing with "ignore date" checked seems to work
It seems it works just by comparing the file sizes. Seems to work if I am able to manage to get correct file sizes.

So, the question is reduced now to the point: is it possible to make "compare by content" work with a WFX plugin?

All the Best,

Sorry, comparison by content isn't currently supported for file system plugins.
