Scroll Files List in Synchronize Directories Window

Long time, no post <G>.

A small feature suggestion:

It would be handy if the files list in the "Synchronize Directories" window would scroll while/after they have been compared. Dunno how difficult this would be to implement, but it would be nice to see the window scroll (showing the progress) during the file compare :)

I many times use the 'synch dirs' feature to compare a CD that I just burnt to the original files on my hard drive, and I always find myself manually scrolling the list as the files are compared <G>.

This behavior has bugged me too from time to time.

That would make it consistant with the behaviour when copying files between the file panels in the main window.

Mmmh.

Don't know if this is a good idea, because it would be hard to inspect some already compared files while the compare is still in progress.

But I agree that some improvements can be useful.
For example: I often find my self pressing the [=] button twice, to apply the filter for hiding already as identical marked files.

You got a point there, but that could be avoided by having TC stop the scrolling if the window is clicked.
