Problem using external sync dir to avoid modal dialog

[Mikefield]

Good point, there are indeed no parameters right now for left and right directory.

Is it planned to realised them? It's needed to give them to ReloadTC
to restart TC in the current folders independent from the folder tabs.

Would be perfect to support left an right path parameters

This is still on my to do list...

Sounds promising.

[Mikefield]

2Samuel Cool, let's hope it's the to do list for TC 7.5.

I hope so too.

@ghisler(Author):
There has been reported an serious behavior change here: No confirmation dialogs are shown.
I also found another little behavior change: F1 doesnt work in standalone.

2Samuel
Did this work in previous beta versions?

[petermad]

F1 doesnt work in standalone.

That applies to standalone Compare contents too...

I dont know.
The behavior change is meant between "standalone Sync" and "TC intern Sync".

I dont mean a behavior change from the last beta.

[Samuel]

Confirmed F1 working in Sync Tool.

[ghisler(Author)]

The problem was that the sync tool wasn't loaded all the settings which TC normally loads. Please let me know if you find other problems with standalone sync.

[Samuel]

I will, but it seems as if most of the behavior changes have already found.

[petermad]

I can confirm that F1 now works in standalone Sync tool and Compare content in TC 7.50pb4

[Samuel]

The option "only selected in main window" doesnt work in standalone sync.

Perhaps it could be introduced by making a call like:

Code: Select all

totalcmd.exe /S=S "C:\Folder1\" "D:\Folder2" /L1="a.txt" "b.txt" "c.txt" /L2="a.txt" "b.txt"

Could be called by TC by:

Code: Select all

totalcmd.exe /S=S %PL %PR /L1=%SL /L2=%SL

%PL, %PR, %SL and %SR are currently not supported by TC.

Code: Select all

%PL - path in left panel of TC
%PR - path in right panel of TC
%SL - selected files on left panel of TC
%SR - selected files on right panel of TC

Dont know how it could be implemented in an other (and simpler) way.

[MVV]

Command line has limit. IT will be better to use some temp file with selection or to pass sync options between TC instances (it is interesting how TC passes selected items to sync tool).

[ghisler(Author)]

A list file should be feasible, I will check that.

07.06.09 Added: Synchronize dirs: Allow to save option "Only selected (in main window)": If checked, TC offers to save the selected names in a list file

Mh thats a good feature, but its not what I expected.

I expected something to be able to "transport" the currently selected files to the standalone sync tool from TC.
But it adds only the possibility to save selected files for preset syncronizations and I can only create such presets with the TC-intern sync tool (and after that use it in standalone tool).

I also dont know a good implementation, because sometimes the commandline should have a filelist (with the selected files) appended and sometimes not (because no files were selected).

I think only an internal parameter for calling the standalone tool with correct left/right paths and also the selected files could solve the problem.
