Compare Directories (Shift+F2): should run a "Reread Source" first

Compare Directories (Shift+F2)
Result: No differences were found. Although there should be differences.

Solution:
- Reread Source (Ctrl+R)
- Compare Directories (Shift+F2)

Where is suggestion?
Shift+F2 is a default shortcut for "cm_CompareDirs" command - compare only names and properties of files.
If you need compare subdirectories names too, use "cm_CompareDirsWithSubdirs" you can try it even from command line of TC.

Suggestion is:

If I compare directories (Shift+F2) I expect TC to start with a Refresh: (Reread Source (Ctrl+R)).
If I don't do this Refrewsh manually TC won't see differences that have been created by another process.

Same suggestion applies to Copy/Move files:
1. Refresh
2. Compare (does the file already exist?)
3. Copy/Move (if I accept overwrite)

[Gral]

1. You can configure refresh on appropiate configuration page - Configration - Options - Refresh

2. You can build user commands e.g.

Code: Select all

cmd=cm_RereadSource,cm_CompareDirs
