Sync Dirs doesn't show Empty dirs in some cases

[DrShark]

1. Create following directory tree:
c:\Test1\1\
c:\Test2\1\

2. Go to c:\Test1\1\ in left panel and in c:\Test2\1\ in right.

3. Call Sync dirs, check "Empty directories" and press "=" aka "Equal files" button. Press compare -> nothing will shown.
Although the "1\" dirs in left and right panel are not "equal files", there are "equal directories" and it would be logical to show the "1\" dir as a result of comparing.

Do you mean to go to c:\Test1 and c:\Test2 in step 2?

If yes, the behaviour is by design. Empty directories will be shown only when present on only one side.

Yes.

I don't agree with that design Why?
For example, Sync Dirs have a useful feature "Delete on both sides". With the same emty dirs shown I would able easy to select & delete empty dirs on both sides.

Sorry, this would overload the dialog with many empty folders when nothing has changed. I will therefore not change the current behaviour.

Maybe optional via wincmd.ini switch, disabled by default?

It will not be changed only for 7.55 or at all?
If this can be re-considered for next major versions, maybe it's better to move the thread to the Suggestions forum?

TC 7.55 is now in release candidate state, so no new features at this time (or the beta test would go on forever). However, I have put this suggestion on my wish list, so I may be adding it to a future version.
