synchronise dirs: open parent folder
How to open file folders?
There is some difference in files name. I need to open both dirs to compare manually.
And this is how it is implemented in another software: would like to have a choice how to open dir: in the TC or in Windows Explorer.
thank you
why {img}{/img} can't display my PNG from the url right on the page here?

You can configure WinMerge as Compare tool in TC
and have what you want as options.

In some version, I noticed a strange behavior, an error in the work. Since then I have been using TC as comparing tool. More reliable - as it seemed to me.

So you have to live with the TC right click options in synchronize dir.teceuser wrote: 2021-05-23, 18:11 UTCI don't like WinMerge.Horst.Epp wrote: 2021-05-23, 18:09 UTC You can configure WinMerge as Compare tool in TC

Re: synchronise dirs: open parent folder
Well, I have configured WinMerge as Compare tool in TC and assigned ALT-C key to it (A+C=cm_CompareFilesByContent)
On the other hand I have assigned SHIFT-ALT-C key to the internal compare tool (AS+C=cm_IntCompareFilesByContent).
This way I have the best of both worlds

TC doesn't have the option you want.
WinMerge has the option but you don't like it.
So search another one and configure it in TC
but please stop to repeat the same thing over and over.

You can use the Alt+Down on a directory bar and then click on the first item in the context menu - then the directory will open in Explorer - https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/syncaltdowndir.png
You cannot right click on a directory bar - that will select all files in that directory - so you have to use Alt+Down
Well, TC 10.00 has more right-click options in the "Synchronize directories" dialog: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/syncrightclick.pngwould like to have a choice how to open dir: in the TC or in Windows Explorer.

TC doesn't have the option you want.
WinMerge has the option but you don't like it.
So search another one and configure it in TC
but please stop to repeat the same thing over and over.
It doesn't seem like I'm paying attention to extremely complex functionality. Simple, but most likely in demand.
Thanks to all
