Sync Dirs: Feed to listbox feature

I suggest to add "Feed to listbox" feature, available TC's "Find files", into Sync Dirs, with some adaptation.
So the FTL button should allow user to Feed files to Total Commander panels from left, right or both sides of Sync Dirs window, to futher do something not possible inside Sync Dirs, like packing to archive.

Since Sync Dirs window is modal, it will be of course closed after pressing a button, so addition suggestion is to allow such Total Commander panels with FTL-ed files to be a source and target for next Sync operation.

You can already do this:
When pressing Synchronize you can prefix the packer extension, just like with Alt+F5 et.al.

So change for example

Code: Select all

Left to Right:
c:\dir1\dir2
into

Code: Select all

zip:c:\dir1\dir2\mysync.zip

Thanks for a hint, and is's a good quick workaround, though just for packing to archive. Still, having files on the panel after pressing FTL will offer much more possibilities.
