Improvement for Synchronize Dirs

Post by *behradz »

Hi,

The Directory Synchronization tool is excellent — especially the filtering options in the Show section. Currently, there are four buttons: >, =#, <, along with two additional buttons for Duplicates and Singles.

However, there is a limitation: it's not possible to display — in one go — files that are only on the right side (single right) plus files that exist on both sides but differ, where the left side is newer. This type of combined filtering would be very useful.

Suggestion:
Replace the current 4-button layout with 6 buttons, arranged as follows:

[>>] [<<]
[ >] [=] [#] [< ]

- The top row ([>>] and [<<]) filters singles only (right and left respectively).
- The bottom row ([>], [=], [#], [<]) filters differences and equality.

This change would eliminate the need for the current Duplicates and Singles buttons, and allow for flexible, mix-and-match filtering of comparison results — covering all practical use cases with clarity.
