![]() ![]() I use both these programs regularly, BC3 for detailed comparison and for interactive syncing, and FFS for automatic syncing. You should now see UAC prompts whenever you run BC3 (from the context menu or otherwise).Īlthough BC3 can't help you (yet), this feature is available in FreeFileSync since v5 (currently v5.2). Go to the Compatibility tab and mark to Run as Administrator. It also lets you verify if a folder could be deleted and replaced without issue: in the above screenshot 2011.04.23 appears to have orphan (unique) data on the right side that you may want to verify if you were going to delete the entire folder and replace it with the left folder.Īdding the ability to then 'touch' the file/folder names and copy them from one side to the other is on our Customer Wishlist, but is not a currently supported feature.įor the second question, yes: if you go to the Program Files\Beyond Compare 3\ folder, right click and select Properties on Bcompare.exe. This would allow to keep your directories up to date, but does not rename the folders in the destination that would have to be done manually (or by syncing the entire folder). The goal of the Alignment Override is to align items to determine if they really are equal or if there is a difference and sync items within the folders. Sorry, the Alignment Override is designed to mark the folder/file names as an equal pair, and the Sync command is not designed to copy just the file name from one side to the other. I would sincerely appreciate any help with this. This is way more I/O than I want to put the drives through and I have around 74k (363 GB) files so the sync would take FOREVER! And that's per drive. I understand that I could just tell BC to synchronize it but it wants to delete the existing files (already on the right side) and then copy them back with the modified folders. Is there a simple way to give it hints or have it do the renaming on the right side to match the left? If not, does anybody else know of a tool that will? So, while both sides are still the same, excepting the folder names, BC doesn't think so. ![]() My problem is that I had the bright idea to go through my source photos (3rd drive) and rename some of the folders containing significant events. I use BC regularly to sync new changes to these drives and it works very well. I have two backup drives where I keep backup copies of all of my photos. Obligatory apology for potential repost.- I've looked and I cannot find this topic, covered already. ![]()
