Created attachment 176911 [details] Picture of a result. SUMMARY If I compare two folders, since few month, there is no different between asymmetric and symmetric syncing. I wanna do a backup so the sync should be asymmetric. But after comparing, in the preview list there are shown unequal files correct as unequal. But this happens even in the asymmetric mode. So I have to select all red files and manually choose "from right to left". That takes a long time every time I sync. In the past, all these files automatically were chosen from right to left, because the right folder is the source, the left the target. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start sync of two folders with check box on for asymmetric sync 2. watch preview: different files where shown red as unequal and you have to change manually to "from right to left" OBSERVED RESULT different files where shown red as unequal EXPECTED RESULT they should be shown automatically as "from right to left" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: kubuntu 24.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.13
The screenshot and the texts were useful. I couldn't reproduce the bug. Lately, there have been some bug fixes and a new version of Krusader has to be released in the near future. Meanwhile, if you can follow the steps of https://commits.kde.org/krusader?path=INSTALL then you can build the git version of Krusader, use its latest features, etc. If you have been able to do it, is your problem solved?
Thank you for your answer. Strange, that you do not have the same problem. I never compiled an application before. I will try it. But first I think I will try to reinstall kubuntu. I will tell you if I have solved the problem.

In that case, you would install the latest version (Kubuntu 24.10) because the git version of Krusader uses new software. > I will tell you if I have solved the problem. That's good.

I reinstalled kubuntu 24.04 and Krusader. I even deleted all settings data of my home. But the issue still exists. So can anybody help me to try a later version of krusader with the fixes? How can I install it at kubuntu? Thank you very much!
This seems to be a duplicate of Bug 476194: The "asymmetric" mode in synchronizer does not overwrites files from right to left if "ignore date" is activated. This has been fixed with https://invent.kde.org/utilities/krusader/-/merge_requests/138 which is deployed with version 2.9.0 One solution is to uncheck "ignore date" - but note that a left file is still not overwritten if it is newer than the right file. The other solution is to use Krusader 2.9.0. There seems to be a package for Ubuntu 25.0.4 -> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/krusader A short how-to for building from source code is https://krusader.org/get-involved/index.html or see the INSTALL file Toni already posted. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 476194 ***
