Empty Folders revisited
Posted: Sat Oct 11, 2008 9:14 am
I just downloaded, registered and used Synchronize it! - great program in found it when i was working with Unisys... however, for my use, i discovered a little "bug".
I have tested with:
-1- An empty folder on the target
-2- An empty folder on the source
-3- An empty folder on the source AND the same folder on the target(but this one contains some files)
Those 3 situations can happen....
I used the "Duplicate" action setting true:
- Handle Empty folders
- Delete Empty folders
All goes well for the cases 1 and 2.(empty target folder is deleted and empty source folder is copied)(This is due to the option "Handle Empty folders")
The case number 3 cause some trouble:
- The files under the target(not empty before action) are removed - this is normal.
- This target - after or during action - is deleted because the option "Delete Empty folders" is set.
This delete action must not be done because of the option "Handle Empty folders" which means that if an empty folder is on the source, it must be also present after the action on the target.
The only detour i found is to Synchronize-It! again.
This oblige me to start/use twice Synchronize-It! to achieve my "Duplicate" action.
