Total Commander

Hello,
tried to find if this point was discussed before but couldnt find it, so here it is:

in a Synchronize Directories dialog there is only one operation per file in the pop menu (Right Context Menu ALT+sh**+DOWN), even if multiple files were selected, so is it possible to make the (Right Context Menu ALT+sh**+DOWN) work with ALL the selected files? left and right?
basically, the need here is: i want to compare directories, with or with content, and then copy/move/delete/zip .. etc certain files in ONE go, instead of selecting multiple files,

Thanks

There is a checkbox to compare files by content during sync. The option in the context menu is meant to open the compare tool (e.g. to manually copy text between the two files. This would not work with multiple selected files.

Thanks ghisler, appreciate your reply.
i maybe didnt explain my suggestion well, can i try again ?
in the dialog of "Synchronize Directories" it will be very convenient if i select multiple files from the list then right click and have an option to copy/cut of selected files, it will make it easy to manage file this way by opening any other file manager window and paste those selected files other locations.

Currently. when i compare directories, and i want, for example, to move some "equal files", i single left click each file to be able to select the name, then open another windows and search for that file in its location then cut/copy.
thats very tedious in long list of file

Thanks again

Support for extending the right and left context menu entry
to support multiple selected files.
There is no conflict with other functions
and allows many new possible actions with the list of files.

Support++

An button [feed to listbox] to open a new view with the selected files could help here (like the one in the search result)
And / or an context menu item "copy names to clipboard / or save to file" could help (for to use next with "select from clipboard" or "load from file")




 

Hope ghisler could give his view on this feature, its very much useful
