Sync dirs: option to ignore size

Post by *wanderer »

It would be nice to have a checkbox "ignore size" in Sync dirs, like "ignore date". Sometimes you just need to see if a file with a certain filename exists in both folders, regardless of size and date.

Normally using latest TC on:
x32: WinXPx32 SP3 (very rarely nowadays).
x64: Clients/Servers - Win10/Win11 and Win2K16 to Win2K22, mainly Win10 though.

Date may be used to determine which file is newer. Size can't be used for such task, TC already ignores file sizes and doesn't suggest default direction, so there is no need in such option.
If you only need to check if file exists, any compare mode is suitable for you. Just ignore compare results and use filter and manual instructions. If a file exists only on one side, TC suggests to copy it to another side regardless of mode, and if file exists on both sides with different attributes that can't be compared, TC doesn't suggest any direction itself.

Yep, now that i think of it some more, this effect can be achieved by using "singles" or Left/Right buttons.

OK, just ignore this post. :)
