Total Commander

Disable making .bak file while Synchronize dirs

Cant found how to disable it? For me its not needed, because I use git, it provide me history of file changes.

Add CompareDeleteBak=1 under Configuration section in your Wincmd.ini, but note that it will disable creating backup in compare tool whether you used it inside or outside Synchronize dirs tool.

Thank you so much!

Hmm, CompareDeleteBak is for the "Compare contents" tool - not for the "Synchronize directories" tool. But I am not aware of any .bak files being made by the "Synchronize directories" tool anyway

Yes, but it seems so if compared files were edited while using Synch Dir tool.

It seems to be related to the compare function within "Synchronize directories" if you doublecllck on a pair of files.

To put it simply: The Compare by Contents feature creates these files, regardless of how it's called (Synchronize directories or separately).
