Im Synchronze Directories gibt es unter anderem "Ignore date"

English: There is an option "Ignore date" in menu Commands - Synchronize dirs.

with Shift+F2 no chance??

[ghisler(Author)]

No, Shift+F2 is meant to select NEWER files very quickly.

What about using Alt+Shift+F2 to select OLDER files very quickly and additional setting in wimcmd.ini to ignore the same timestamp? For example:

IgnoreSame=1
Shift+F2: select only newer files
Alt+Shift+F2: select only older files

ignoreSame=0
Shift+F2: select newer or the same files
Alt+Shift+F2: select older or the same files

You can use Inverse selection (Numpad *) after Shift+F2.

Let me explain it.

Shift+F2 marks the following files:
A) not existing,
B) newer (with the same size and newer timestamp),
C) different (with different size and the same timestamp).
The following files stay unmarked:
D) the same files (with the same timestamp and size);
E) older files (with older timestamp).
Inverse selection marks parts D and E, but I want to select only older files, listed as part E.

Yes, i see your point. Identical files are issue in this case.
Instead of tricky ini settings, maybe better solution is a cm_ for (de)selecting identical files.

Does this do what you want?

Put this command in your usercmd.ini file (it is located the same place as your wincmd.ini file:

Code: Select all

[em_show_duplicates]
cmd=cm_SelectAllBoth,cm_CopyNamesToClip,cm_FocusTrg,cm_GoToFirstEntry,cm_ClearAll,cm_LoadSelectionFromClip,cm_CopyNamesToClip,cm_ShowOnlySelected,cm_ClearAll,cm_FocusTrg,cm_ClearAll,cm_LoadSelectionFromClip,cm_ShowOnlySelected,cm_ClearAll
menu=Show only files and folders that exist in both panels
button=wcmicons.dll,73

Make this button:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
em_show_duplicates,cm_DirMatch,cm_ExchangeSelFiles,cm_CopyFullNamesToClip,cm_SrcAllFiles,cm_LoadSelectionFromClip,cm_FocusTrg,cm_ExchangeSelFiles,cm_CopyFullNamesToClip,cm_SrcAllFiles,cm_LoadSelectionFromClip,cm_FocusTrg

wcmicons.dll,39
Mark files that exist in both panels and are older than the opposite file


-1

To make the button:
1. Mark the text in the box here above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctrl+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".
