how to avoid $RECYCLE.BIN during synchronize folder ?

Post by *Michael REMY »

hi,

during a folder synchronization (full hard drive, one internal, other external usb), TC always cares of the system files of trashcan ($RECYCLE.BIN).

is it normal ? it is a filesystem which cannot be use on other system drive at all, so it must be ignore.

thanks for help.
i'm an old long user of TC since the windows 3.11 release !, for the history, i came to tc when i migrate from amiga commodore to PC where they are diskmanager and directory opus there.

You can easilly add $RECYCLE.BIN to ignore list in TC settings.

according to my translation in French, the ignoreList aims to hide (not display) files-folders , not to ignore the synchronyze.

at least there should be an option to not synchronize hidden files.

If you(as user) decide to show hidden/system files(cm_SwitchHidSys, cm_SwitchHid, cm_SwitchSys), you should know what you ar doing.

i did not chose that; this is system file, they are already hidden but TC consider them in synchro task whereas i don't see them.

When ignore list enabled, items are not listed, copied, moved, synced etc.

You can use SyncHideHiddenSystem option in wincmd.ini, it allows ignoring hidden files in sync.

Ah, i see.
Workaround:
- select all (visible) files and folders in left and right panel
- "Sync. dirs." with "[x] Only selected"

Unfortunately this works only for file attributes and not for folder attributes.
