Before Sync. How to select all files with th same categorie?

Post by *ambarvalente »

I want to replace a lot of files from one directorie to another,
considered equal because i selected 'ignore date',
because that's precisely the problem.

(in one of the directories Box.Com made all the files have the same date: january 15. i want to recover the original dates.)

But i cant find a way to select them all in once..

(i cant do it one by one clicking the context menu for each one! there are many directories i have to repeat the proceedure)

Free commander had an option to
'select all files with this categorie'

or something simmilar..

Thanks in advance! I need to do it soon, somehow!

If you want to recover just file dates, you don't need to copy files at all. Just open two directories in panels and start Sync tool. Mark option 'by contents' and 'ignore dates' and start compare. Then uncheck all groups except '=' (i.e. leave only equal files), select all by Ctrl+A and in context menu click item to copy file attributes in desired direction (from side with correct dates to another side).

Thanks! i wasnt yet understanding how to use the show buttons to separe one tipe of categorie from the other and then selecting them all..
Is a great option copying only file properties.
Thanks.
