"Flip" 'SYNC DIR' panels while in 'SYNC DIR'

Post by *jinsight »

I understand that one can flip the source and destination folders in 'SYNC DIR' by leaving 'SYNC DIR,' flipping the panels in the main screen of Total Commander by hitting Ctrl-U and returning to 'SYNC DIR.'

My suggestion is the option to flip the source and destination folders in 'SYNC DIR' without leaving 'SYNC DIR."

Maybe something like this button(non modal)?

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_EXE%
/S=S "%X%Z%T" "%Z%P"
wcmicons.dll,48
Synchronise directories  (Reverse, separate instance)
%COMMANDER_PATH%\

-1
or a command concatenation(modal)?:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_Exchange,cm_FileSync,cm_Exchange

wcmicons.dll,48


0
-1

Thanks for the response.

If I understand the operation of either of these buttons as: starting in the main screen of Total Commander, flip the the left and right panels and put the result in SYNC DIR.

My suggestion is the option to: starting in SYNC DIR, flip the current source and destination folders in 'SYNC DIR' without leaving 'SYNC DIR' so a sync can be run in either direction from within SYNC DIR.

flip the current source and destination folders
Synchronize Directories has no source or destination folder rule assigned to an explicit side except if "[x] Asymmetric" is checked.
So it's only for the R2L guys using asymmetric sync?
