Sychronize directories: add a way to select files of certain direction-equality filter critria

Post by *DrShark »

It would be nice to have the possibility to select all the files that at the moment match certain criteria of direction-equality filter (the speed buttons in a "Show" group of Sync Dirs window).

Since the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+L and Ctrl+R are already in use:
Ctrl+L = Select for copying -> Left to Right
Ctrl+R = Select for copying -> Right to Left
I suggest to use Ctrl+Shift+<letter key> or Ctrl+Alt+<letter key> for these actions, for example:

Code: Select all

Ctrl+Shift+L	Select all files set for copying from left to right
Ctrl+Shift+R	Select all files set for copying from right to left
Ctrl+Shift+E	Select all files marked as equal
Ctrl+Shift+U	Select all files marked as unequal
Ctrl+Shift+N	Select all files with no filter marker set
There could be additional actions like to select all files equal only by content or equal NOT by content, date, attributes, the content plugin used etc.

For convenience of mouse users, such actions could be bound to the direction-equality speed buttons,
e.g. a left mouse button click on "Equal files" (with "=" icon) button while Ctrl+Shift are pressed on keyboard would select all equal files. All such selection functions can by available also by right click mouse menu (maybe as a submenu of context menu that appears in Sync dirs' list of files).
