--- Comment #6 from Bernd Steinhauser <li...@bernd-steinhauser.de> --- (In reply to Felix Ernst from comment #5) > Why should Dolphin do the syncing of folders instead of some external and > specialised tool? > I did not say to not use rsync, just that full support for it might be a bit much. rsync has like a million options. I've used GUIs for it before, it gets very confusing very fast, if you don't know the tool anyways. I also hear quite often of newbies trying to use rsync and getting really confused by the lengthy manual. > If this is only about syncing two tabs, isn't this quite easily accomplished > by "Select All" in one tab. "Copy" and then "Paste" in the other? Only partially. Syncing is also about comparing the two folders, e.g. seeing which files are missing in one folder, which would be updated etc. Furthermore, what you suggested will only copy new files, but it won't delete any files that the source does not have. (i.e. rsync's --delete). See Free Commander's online manual as an example. The UI is a bit of a mess, but you get the idea. https://freecommander.com/fchelpxe/en/Synchronize.html -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
