Offline File Synchronisation

[hlloyge]

Hello!

I have a suggestion for simple offline file synchronisation; 'Synchrnoize dirs' would have an option to scan (computer A) destination dir and create a file list which would be in some format (xml?), compressed and saved onto portable USB disk. It would then be loaded into source (computer B), and checked against source folder; the files which would need to be copied can be copied into that USB drive, into some folder, with config file which would determine if there is need to overwrite file based on date, for example... that would be loaded on destination (computer A), and executed copy/overwrite functions.
Would that be hard to implement?

Hi hlloyge,
I seem to remember vaguely DiskDirExtended does something like that already?

It doesn't support unicode while creating list, will see about the rest..
It doesn't by itself; however, it CAN create list which can be compared against, and use Synchroniser to copy files.
It is a workaround, but alas, no unicode support makes it useless to me.

What about "DiskDirW (Unicode)"? - http://totalcmd.net/plugring/diskdirw.html

Yes... that works. And procedure is rather simple. Would like to see it implemented into Sync part.
