Compare Directories - question ; Menu "Mark > Compare Directories" for sub folder too?

[Robbie]

On the Right Panel i have:
- AAA
- BBB
On the Left Panel i have:
- AAA
- BBB
- CCC
all are folders.
F9, M, C: "The files in the source and target directories took identical." So now i am confused, because apparently they are not.

Q: Is there a setting that i can use to let TC besides Compare Files also Compare Directories? (uh, wait a minute, even more confused, this feature is called "Compare Directories")

Regards
Rob

Hi Robbie

Menu "Mark > Compare Directories" is to compare the both current visible folders for files only.


For all internal TC commands see "TOTALCMD.INC" (select and press F3)
There search for 'comp' and you will find
cm_CompareDirs=533;Compare dirs
cm_CompareDirsWithSubdirs=536;Also mark subdirs not present in other dir



"cm_CompareDirs" you will find also in english menu file "WCMD_ENG.MNU"

Create there a new line with "cm_CompareDirsWithSubdirs"
MENUITEM "&Compare Directories\tShift+F2", cm_CompareDirs
MENUITEM "Compare Directories with sub dirs", cm_CompareDirsWithSubdirs

(the keyboard shortcut mentioned there is just plain text w/o function. To assign one go to "Configuration > Options... > Misc."


Or use "cm_CompareDirsWithSubdirs" from an button or at the TC own command line.

Or take a look at petermad's extented language files found at >> https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=33740
