Asymetric sync dirs: Directory rename detection

Post by *arki55 »

Hi!

I like to use the Sync Dirs tool in Total Commander to manually backup some home made video/photos to multiple backup disks.
Now, the only problem I face often is, that when I rename some folders in source disk, these get synced by delete/copy again.
If there was an option to automatically rename dirst, like "git" does, that would spare me some time and effort.
It would be enough to do that only within 1-2 levels.

BR,
Miroslav

How should that work if TC doesn't know what the previous names where ?
Such functions require a database of the current state and tracking any changes in the file system.
