Sync Directories
Sync Directories
Recently, when I click "Edit / Synchronize Directories", the sync seems to ignore all subdirectories
Basically:
* On the left I have five new directories, and three new files
* On the right, these eight items do not exist.
* My "Directory Compare" options are set to "Compare subdirectories only to determine status"
Oddity:
The standard screen clearly shows eight differences.
When I hit "Synchronize Directories // Preview", it shows the three new files, but completely ignores any subfolders.

From memory, I'm sure it behaved differently in the past, but don't have an older version I can try against.

Re: Sync Directories
Yes, you are right. This was broken in 9.0.1.6. We'll have it fixed in the next build.

Re: Sync Directories
Many thanks - In the meantime (depending how quickly you release 9.0.1.7) , is there any way that I can re-download version 9.0.1.5

Re: Sync Directories
When you get 9.0.1.5, could you post its screenshot of the preview please?

All other settings are the same.

Re: Sync Directories
Sorry to re-visit this - Version 9-0-1-7 doesn't fix this - it has introduced a second related bug.
The "Synchronisation Preview" screen displays the correct information, but the second screen (the actual sync) puts the files in the wrong place.
If you give me a moment, I'll prepare a quick script to re-create the issue.

Re: Sync Directories
Simple command line test-script
Problems:
Code: Select all
cd /d "E:\Scratch\ExamDiff Demo"
mkdir Source Source\Dir1 Source\Dir2 Source\Dir3 Destination Destination\Dir2
echo Test > Source\test1.txt | echo test > Source\test2_different.txt | echo test > Source\test3.txt
echo Test > Source\Dir1\dir1_test.txt | echo Test > Source\Dir2\dir2_test.txt | echo Test > Source\Dir3\dir3_test.txt
echo Test > Destination\Dir2\dir2_test.txt
echo Different > Destination\test2_different.txt
tree /f
- Even With no "exclude" filter, the files { dir1_test.txt + dir2_test.txt + dir3_test.txt } are placed in the root folder, not in sub-folders
- The directories { dir1 + dir3 } do not get created
- The sync-preview (which seems to get things better) does not match the actual sync-task performed
