Remember Synchronize options

[wisekat]

I often back up my important files to external USB drives using the TC Synchronization tool as I described on this forum here. When I hit the Synchronize... button, the Synchronize options dialog appears:

I always set the checkbox "Right: Delete all empty directories" and clear the checkbox "Confirm overwrites" in this dialog manually.

Is there a way to make them marked/unmarked by default according to my needs?[/img]

You can disable the overwrite confirmation now via wincmd.ini, section [Confirmation]

SyncConfirmOverwrite=0

You can't auto-check "delete all empty directories", though.

Thank you - it works!

If you implemented this option, then it's logical to have an option to set the option to delete all empty directories.

And if so, I would be also glad to have a configurable option to suppress this Delete file/directories message box:

The option too delete all empty directories isn't really needed any more when using asymmetric mode and checking "empty directories" on the main sync tool screen.

SyncConfirmOverwrite setting stopped working in TC 9.51. What happened?

wisekat,
Either you are using the wrong INI file, it got corrupted, the setting isn't there or it's there twice.

The ini file is correct, and there is the only SyncConfirmOverwrite setting in it.

It worked on my previous pc, but does not work in a new installation of TC. Wondering why?

make sure you have the setting in the [Confirmation] section (and not by mistake in the [Configuration] or some other section).

If this was not the root of your problem, then how exactly did you verify that the INI file in question is indeed used by the TC instances you start?
Note that the "About Total Commander..." dialog shows the path of the INI file it is using.

OMG! Really, it must be the Confirmation section, not Configuration. My fault...

[wisekat]

One more related thing. TC shows confirmations for file/folder deletion ("RIGHT: Do you really want to delete ...?"). Is there a way to configure TC not to show them by default while syncing folders?
