Syncronize selected files (separate instance)

Total Commander have command cm_FileSync for compare directories in left and right panels (if no selection) or selected files/directories (if present selection).
It would be great to have the same command for compare in separate process cm_FileSyncSeparate .
Now I use command
Code: Select all
[em_FileSync]
cmd=%commander_exe% /S=S:=
param=%X%Z "%P" "%T"
But it compare only full directories in left and right panels, not selected files.

Thanks, but not. Your solution is not the same as cm_FileSync.
cm_FileSync works with selected files and directories in left and right panels, and now it's no possibility to make the same in separate process.

Thats what the button does !
It runs definitely as a seperate process, read the help if you don't know.
Also you can select two folders or archives on whatever side you like.

No, it doesn't. LonerD wants to select some files and/or directories and compare/synchronize only those, nothing else. Imagine 50 files are marked and cm_FileSync is executed -> TC checks the option "Only selected". That works in the current instance. The suggestion is to do this in a separate TC instance.
Your suggestion launches the sync feature of the two marked directories in a separate instance and compares ALL files in these directories.

Not completely agree. He said:
"cm_FileSync for compare directories in left and right panels (if no selection) or selected files/directories (if present selection). "
So there was no request to do this only for selected files or dirs.

You need this:
Code: Select all
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_EXE% /S=S
%Z%X "%P" "%T" /O=%L
wcmicons.dll,48
Syncronize Directories (separate instance), only selected
-1
Notice you cannot use this with non selected dirs/files - the dir/file under the cursor will always be selected even if it is not marked as such.
corresponding em_command:
Code: Select all
[em_sync2]
cmd=%COMMANDER_EXE% /S=S
param=%Z%X "%P" "%T" /O=%L
menu=Syncronize Directories (separate instance), only selected
button=wcmicons.dll,48

Just compare.
I open two directories, select some files and directories on both panels, and then press cm_FileSync.
Result:

Then I press your button (with the same selection).
Result is different

Well, it looks like TC passes only one list to the sync instance, which is quite logical because %L is replaced by a file containing the list of all selected files in the active panel (left or right). In other words: Peter's solution works if you select files in one panel only.

You are right - unfortunately it is currently not possible to pass a list of selected files from
both sides to the separate instance.
Maybe something for a feature request to Ghisler...

Thumbs up for this useful feature!

Hope it will be implemented in TC 10.
We have different separate instance commands, but still not for comparing selected files.
