Switch "Copy comments with files" in Synchronize Dirs

[Plumber]

Very often it is necessary to switch the CopyComments option from 14 to 6 before synchronizing directories, and at the end of the synchronization procedure, go to settings again and return the state CopyComments=14.
I would like to be able to temporarily switch CopyComments state directly in the synchronization window.
That is, in the synchronization window display the status of the "Copy Comments With FIles" flag with the ability to switch, but return to its original state upon closing the synchronization window.

The switch could also be put in the confirmation box that is show before the sync starts. See: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/syncconfirmation.png

I like the above ideas!

Code: Select all

! --------------- ! ------------------ ! ----------------------------- ! --------------- ! ---------------------------- !
! File Comments	  ! Copy Comments with !      Synchronize Dirs...      ! wincmd.ini      ! Notes 		        !
! in TC (Ctrl+Z)  ! files (cm_Config2) !      (cm_FileSync)            ! [Configuration] !                              !
! --------------- ! ------------------ ! ----------------------------- ! --------------- ! ---------------------------- !
! descript.ion    !        [ ]         ! [6]* Copy comments with files ! CopyComments=6  ! [X] Synchronize descript.ion !
! --------------- ! ------------------ ! ----------------------------- ! --------------- ! ---------------------------- !
! descript.ion    !        [ ]         ! [X]  Copy comments with files ! CopyComments=22 ! [X] Synchronize descript.ion !
! descript.ion    !        [X]         ! [ ]  Copy comments with files ! CopyComments=30 ! [ ] Synchronize descript.ion !
! --------------- ! ------------------ ! ----------------------------- ! --------------- ! ---------------------------- !

* Dropdown field

I also wish one of these settings - WITHOUT THAT ANOTHER MANUAL INTERVENTION IS REQUIRED - for a new synchronization.
(The setting is made once and it persists <"default value">):

Code: Select all

! --------------- ! ------------------ ! ----------------------------- ! --------------- ! ---------------------------- !
!                 ! BEFORE / AFTER the !                  At the synchronization         !                              !
!                 ! synchronization    !                                                 !                              !
! --------------- ! ------------------ ! ----------------------------- ! --------------- ! ---------------------------- !
! File Comments	  ! Copy Comments with !      Synchronize Dirs...      ! wincmd.ini      ! Notes 		        !
! in TC (Ctrl+Z)  ! files (cm_Config2) !      (cm_FileSync)            ! [Configuration] !                              !
! --------------- ! ------------------ ! ----------------------------- ! --------------- ! ---------------------------- !
! descript.ion    !        [X]         ! [ 6] Copy comments with files ! CopyComments=6  ! [X] Synchronize descript.ion !
! descript.ion    !        [X]         ! [22] Copy comments with files ! CopyComments=22 ! [X] Synchronize descript.ion !
! --------------- ! ------------------ ! ----------------------------- ! --------------- ! ---------------------------- !

For years(!), I have been trying to achieve a change/improvement in the handling of this topic.

If there is an implementation, a line on the large wish list of the author could also be deleted.

TC cannot know which description is newer when there is a different description on both sides for the same file name, e.g.
Left: document.docx letter to Mr. Smith original
Right: document.docx letter to Mr. Smith revised

Here the right one would be the newer one.
Currently TC only copies comments when a file was changed too, e.g. document.docx was changed and its comment too.

TC has currently developed for such cases

Code: Select all

- with these settings (cm_Config2) .....: ☐ Copy comments with files 

- following SOLUTION (cm_FileSync) .....: 
  descript.ion 6.920 12.11.19 21:44:42    ☐ 12.11.19 21:47:31 6.928 descript.ion

In cm_FileSync in the future such cases should also be displayed like this.
The user has then still the possibility for checking the case.

TC cannot know which description is newer when there is a different description on both sides for the same file name, ...

Just for such cases, when the user intentionally changed the description of the file/folder and wants this change to be copied as well, you need to disable the option "copy comments with files" before synchronization, but for this you need to first open the settings and perform the procedure for canceling copying comments, and after synchronization, turn it back on.
Therefore, I asked about the possibility of temporarily canceling “Copy Comments with Files” directly in the synchronization window, before starting the comparison procedure, but that after closing the directory synchronization window, the option “Copy Comments with Files” would return to its original state, that is for "CopyComments" the state of the flag "8" (on/off) was processed.

At present we have - for many years - on this issue a toggle switch, which is located in the corridor.
This proposal should, in my opinion, cause that there is an additional toggle switch with timer in the living room.
Since there must be a solution that even with a new toggle switch with timer in the living room, the light goes on.

Once a solution to this issue has already been found with the help of PowerPro, but I would like to receive the same means of TC itself
