Hello, I am a delighted TC user, who from time to time need to see what are differences between our development environment and our current production environment codewise.
TCs synchronize directories comes in very handy, however I really need to be able to only go, say, 2 levels down from the top of our code tree in order to have covered our codebase.
Because as we are using Subversion version control, there are a lot of subdirs with its housekeeping. I think under each of our source library folders, there are at least 3 levels of SVN junk that is not relevant for this task.
So PLEASE put in an option to select depth of search when using compare/Synchronize Directories. Similar to what is possible in the Alt-F7 search.
Thanks,
Venkman

Well, "SVN junk" is located in folders with the same name (e.g. ".svn")
If you want to ignore those folders always and everywhere, just add them to the ignore list.
If you want to ignore those folders just for synch purpose, just use the filemask "*.*|.svn\" (at top between the 2 path entries)
Feel free to add more than one folder entry to ignore ...

I experimented with the ignore feature to get the comparison that I am after. Thanks so much for the suggestion to ignore .svn folders, that was very helpful and actually solved my case.
For this purpose, I am really only interested in the Compare feature, not so much the Synchronize (we will do that by hand).
When doing comparison, I saw that for a particular filter, the comparison yields different results if you swap the two folders from left to right. You of course needs to select the arrows for both ways, but I thought that the filter would apply equally on both the left and right side folder. This seems not to be the case; does that make sense?
