2 test folders used for Synchronize folders error
Total Commander does not allow selecting folders; that avoids the problem that the bug reporter (and other people) have been finding |

I think that you had the 'PlanetX' sub-folder selected when you choose "copy from right to left" and therefore: the whole folder was selected to be copied "from right to left". If (for example using Ctrl+click) I unselect the 'PlanetX' sub-folder when I choose the files that must be copied "copy from right to left": then at the end only 33 files are shown (which is correct, as you wrote). The bug would be that, when selecting a group of items, a folder is selected easily (and then all its files are selected). I've tried Double Commander and does not allow selecting folders, Total Commander neither does (I'll attach a screenshot) Created attachment 114463 [details]

In the screenshot the folder "PlanetX" is shown like a gray bar, is not selectable even if the user utilizes the mouse to select a range of files (to select a range of files, you can click the first file, then press the Shift key while clicking the last file in the range).
Can you re-title it according to your findings? |
Created attachment 114099 [details] 2 test folders used for Synchronize folders error OK. This bug is a bit complex (I think): I have attached 2 folders in a zip file. You place 'public_html-1' on the left panel and 'public_html-2' on the right panel. You synchronize them (Tools -> 'Synchronize folders' (Ctrl+Y)) with 'Recurse subfolders' and 'Ignore Date' selected (the rest unselected). Using 'Show options' to only view "<-" you see 7 (blue) files. Using 'Show options' to only view "not equal" you see 26 (red) files, 2 of them in a sub-folder. You now select all of them, mouse right-click opens a menu, choose "Copy from right to left". Now the list is empty, but no copy operation has occurred, so I ASSUME the intended operation is to move the files to the (blue) "<-"-category. But when you switch back to viewing that category it now contains 54 files and not 7+26=33! Many (maybe all?) of the extra files are in the sub-folder 'PlanetX'. PS: A similar error occurs using "Copy from left to right".
