Support for multiple folder pairs with distinct configurationįull support for Windows/Linux Symbolic Links and Windows Junction Points. Synchronization database for propagation of deleted files and conflict detection No limitations: An arbitrary number of files can be synchronized.īuilt-in support for very long filenames (more than MAX_PATH = 260 characters). More info about it here or here, where you have a PPA, tooĬompare files (bytewise or by date) and synchronize them. It comes with a folder monitoring tool (RealTimeSync) that can launch FreeFileSync (actually any command or script) when that specific folder (or folders) or the files within are changed. It has a decent interface, acceptable comparing speed, good filtering of the comparison result, differents ways of syncrhronization. This is also the reason why I don't use Windows Explorer and prefer to use robocopy (GUI).Try also FreeFileSync. txt file has a different creation time and this is the transfer time and not the one from the source. txt file today and 1 day later you use Windows Explorer to copy this. The default behavior of the Windows system is known to set the creation time illogically very often, and it happens very often that the creation time is later than the modified date. Note: NTFS stores an accuracy of 100 nanoseconds These options (Compare method) are still missing:Īlso compare milliseconds and nanoseconds (NTFS only) Currently it works only for modified date. It would be good if the user in addition to modified date also created time is displayed in WinMerge, if the created time is different.
