Directory synchronization

Post by vremete »

Is there a way to do directory synchronization of a tree of directories, but omitting files with specific extensions, like .obj and .lst?

I'm not sure what you mean by "directory synchronization of a tree of directories" but you can certainly filter out files you don't need (see Options | Dir Comparison | Filters) for a pair of directories. Version 5.5 also implements automated directory synchronization.

I was asking about this Auto Synchronization option.
I have a directory Crane for my crane project, with sub-directories

Crane\Sources
Crane\Include
Crane\Objects
Crane\Listings
Crane\Tools

I want to keep my Sources, Include and Tools directories synchronized. In the Objects directory I do not care to synchronize the OBJ files, but would like to synchronize some configuration, linker and project files. In the Listings directory I do not care about the LST files. Rather than having to go and delete all the files I don't want to synchronize, I would like to synchronize everything except OBJ and LST files.

It was not obvious to me how I could use filters to do this.

Thanks,
Victor

Compare your directories first using comparison filters that exclude Listings and Objects subfolders (Options | Dir Comparison | Filters, exclude :*\*Listings*\*,:*\*Objects*\*). Then start directory synchronization and choose the "Use directory comparison filters" option.
