Total Commander

When synchronizing large dir structures using cm_FileSync I often have renamed/moved folders.
Using asymmetric mode would do what I need, but would unnecessarily copy & delete gigabytes of data already present on both sides.

So now I use a second instance of TC, manually navigate to the changed directory and change it to prevent the copying.
This would be much easier, if there was an entry in the context menu (of at least the directory lines) in the SyncTool
to open the folder in another TC instance or simply open it in Explorer/the default associated program for folders.

As stated in Explorer Context menu in Synchronize window not yet..... adding the complete Explorer context menu is problematic -
maybe a single "open this folder" can be added?


P.S.: Links to two external file synchronizing tools with automatic handling of moved files/folders are given in this post in a german thread.

Meanwhile an AHK solution for this task:
synchronize dirs: go to the current dir in the (2-nd??) TC?

Yes, this "open in a new TC instance" procedure is familiar to me too. What you propose does not seem complicated and i support it. I have a rather more complex idea in mind but i'd go with this one. It's simple so it has better chances of being included soon in TC.

can it be added to TC functionalities?
