Synchronize Dirs not working

Post by *richardhcoctopus »

Using 11.02 Since last week (after years of use) when I synchronize dirs the updated files are not being shown.
On the footer it says Files Found 0/188 (Identical 0/182 Different 0/6 Unique Left 0 Unique Right 0.
So it is identifying the 6 updated files (Different 0/6) but is not showing them and does not synchronize them.

I do not have ignore date checked. I tried checking by content and it again identifies the 6 updated files but does not synchronize them or show them.

File types are set to *

I updated to 11.03 see if that might solve the problem but it didn't.

Have a look at the 6 buttons within the frame 'Show:' "Unequal files" and so on...

On the footer it says Files Found 0/188 (Identical 0/182 Different 0/6 Unique Left 0 Unique Right 0.
This means that 188 files were found, but 0 were displayed due to the display filters (arrow buttons, equal, unequal, singles, duplicates).
Identical 0/182 means that 182 were the same on left and right.
Different 0/6 means that 6 were different without a specific copy direction on left and right.
From this I guess that either
- the buttons = and =/= aren't pressed, or
- the button "duplicates" isn't pressed.

the buttons = and =/= were all pressed before so that wasn't the problem. When I clicked on the duplicates button that showed almost all the files and it did sync correctly. 😃🙏
But in previous versions it synched without showing the duplicates, it only showed the files that would be synched and this was much more useful because I could quickly see exactly which files were being synched. Showing all the files makes it nearly impossible to see which files are being synched when doing a whole folder with over a thousand files.

Simply unpress the [=] button

OMG, of course.
Works perfectly now.
Thanks Joube and Ghisler.
