Dir Synchronization - Copy file properties greyed out on empty directory structure

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

I see it differently, but okay. Then this would be a good point to restore functionality, which was previously implemented and was both: useful and Tc standard?

TCv11 contains so many useful new features, it's regrettable if same useful old features are lost.

Code: Select all

27.12.23 Fixed: Synchronize dirs, right click menu: Show option to copy file properties even when they can only be copied for the selected directories (32/64)
This is only fixed if "Empty directories" is enabled. If that option is disabled, the context menu items are disabled just like previously. Is this intentional? I didn't assume as much from the quoted line in history.txt.

I can confirm that it only works when "Empty directories" is enabled. I will check whether I can add it.

Unfortunately directories are ignored when "Empty directories" isn't checked. TC then only compares files, and adds directories as "separators" at the end where needed.TC doesn't know whether a directory is present on both sides or only one one, so it cannot show the "copy file properties" option just for directories. Keeping track of all directories as when using "Empty directories" would be possible, but would probably break a lot of other functions.
