Sync Directories

[Stealth]

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.

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

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

You can download build 9.0.1.5 from:

http://www.prestosoft.com/ps_download.a ... _64bit.exe
http://www.prestosoft.com/ps_download.a ... _32bit.exe

When you get 9.0.1.5, could you post its screenshot of the preview please?

v 9-0-1-5 "preview" screenshot attached.

All other settings are the same.

Thanks.

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.

No need for a sample, we are already working on the fix.

Simple command line test-script

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 

Problems:

• 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

See the fix in build 9.0.1.8.

That's solved it - many thanks ...
