Directory Sychronization

In concert with the directory comparison function, a directory synchronization function is provided that makes it easy the set up repetitive comparison of any two directories. The function is started with a press of the 'Briefcase' pushbutton on the toolbar. A dialog window then overlays the Data Panel at the bottom of the main window and an automatic setup is commenced, restoring the last saved directories and window filters into the appropriate windows. If those are the desired directories for the comparison, pressing 'Start' commences a normal default directory comparison as described above.

Synchronize Directories Dialog

The user may change the directories and/or filters before starting a comparison. Any setup may be saved for automatic restoration on the next use of the function by simply pushing the 'Save' button provided. The first time use of the mode causes both directories to be set to 'C:\" with no filtering.

This mode currently does not have the capability to restore multi-directory views. However, the user is free to do so manually before pressing 'Start'.
