Folder synchronize not only for files

Post by *Deltaflight84 »

Is there any way to check the name of the possible duplicate folder to check the most current version and consequently update the folder to the new version? much like the sync folder feature, but should work for comparing directories, not just files (see Screenshot)
As you can see I have a folder named almost the same only the version number changes, I would basically like to have the sync function to see how many folders I need to update.

If you only want to compare 1 set of folders like in your screenshot, you can just go into the folder on each side (v2-0-0 and v1-8-1) before you start the Sync tool.

If you just want to compare the folder names on each side you can use the cm_CompareDirsWithSubdirs command.

Did you click the green checkmark button (Save) when setting the shortcut?
