[TC9b7 x64] Selection in left panel lost after filesync

[petermad]

If I select files and folder in both panels and run Synchronize Dirs then when the Sync dialog is closed the selection is lost in the left file panel but not in the right panel.

This applies to the 64bit version. In the 32bit version of TC9b7 the selections are preserved on both sides after the filesync window is closed.

The selection is normally lost when the directory changes. Maybe there was no change when using 32-bit version sync?

It happened when I only did the compare but not the sync - so there where no changes in that case because I closed the window after doing only the compare.

But when I try again today - it works as expected...

I will return on this issue if it turns up again, and I can find a way to reproduce it.

I made the same observation:

Example 1
1. Left panel: Mark two folders, e.g. "Language" and "Tools"
Path: D:\Daten\Programme\TotalCommander\TCD_USB-Stick\TC32-64USB\
2. Right panel: Mark two folders, e.g. "Language" and "Plugins"
Path: I:\Daten\Programme\TotalCommander\TCD_USB-Stick\TC32-64USB\
3. Click on button "cm_FileSync"
4. [Click on button "Compare"]
5. Click on button "Close" (and NOT on button "Synchronize")
6. In the right panel the two folders "Language" and "Plugins" are marked
In the left panel selection is lost.

This also happens in the 32 bit-version.
Panel selection will get not lost if files are identically.

Example 2
1. Left panel: Mark two folders, e.g. "_Forumsanfragen" and "Avatar_Bild-im-Internet"
Path: D:\Daten\Programme\TotalCommander\TCD_USB-Stick\TC32-64USB\Migration\
2. Right panel: Mark two folders, e.g. "Avatar_Bild-im-Internet" and "Benutzerdefinierte Spalten"
Path: I:\Daten\Programme\TotalCommander\TCD_USB-Stick\TC32-64USB\Migration\
3. Click on button "cm_FileSync"
4. [Click on button "Compare"]
5. Click on button "Close" (and NOT on button "Synchronize")
6. Both folders are marked in left and right panel!

The only difference I could state is, that in Example 1 the path is %COMMANDER_PATH%
in the left panel and in Example 2 not.

I think you found the culprit.

If I happen to be in the folder that corresponds to %COMMANDER_PATH% in one of the panels (left or right) then the selection in that panel is lost after filesync -> compare -> close.

If I am in a subdirectory to %COMMANDER_PATH% the bug doesn't happen.

And yes, it applies to both 32bit and 64bit TC.

I have decided to leave it as it is for now because it doesn't do any harm. TC sees a directory change in the window which is updated.

[petermad]

I found out that it is because TC rewrites the settings for the Sync window for the current resolution to wincmd.ini - even if there has been made no changes to the settings
SyncX=
SyncY=
SyncDX=
SyncDY=
SyncMax=
SyncTabs=

And because I have my wincmd.ini (actually this setting is redirected to user.ini) in TC's program folder - TC sees a change in that folder.
