Feature request : synchronized windows

[robofox]

It would be great to get this kind of behavior under TC ( I try to explain it with an example) :

- left window opened on c:\datas\myfolder
- right window opened on ftp:\anyserver\myfolder

Then, when I move on a window (by selecting a file or going into a sub dir), the other one do the same (if possible).

This should be very useful to quickly compare or synchronize files and/or folders . It can work with local and distant drives, ftp or parallel connections, zip files (thanks TC)...

This should be an option, activated or no by the user.

I personnaly need such a behavior to help me 'manually' update local and distant dirs, by deleting or moving a few files dispatched on several folders. I know that the TC's 'synchonize dir' feature can do it, but I need something lighter.

For french readers : I've also posted this on the French forum, ( subject 'Suggestion : déplacement simultané')

For all : sorry for my english, I have to practice again

Thanks for the 'cm_SyncChangeDir' command that I don't knew.

It works fine but it can be improved :
- by also synchronize when moving on files with the same name (not only directories)
- by make it working with compressed files (zip...).
- by showing somewhere on the screen the current synchronization state
- the synchronization is lost when you go into a directory that does not exists on the other side. Then you have to reactivate it manually. It can be done automatically when you go again into a 'common' directory (under the original synchronized 'root', of course)
