Compare folders for missing files only

Hi There,

Is there a way to find and select files missing in the destination folder by their filename compared to the source ignoring all other criteria. (size, date or contents)

I hoped I could use folder compare tool but it only allows identify size, date or contents differences.

I guess I'm missing something obvious, not thinking out of the box.

Background: I have a hotfolder where PDFs do come in and get OCR'ed automatically to another folder. Sometimes, the process fails and the folders are out of sync. I then need to identify which files are missing from one folder and move them back to the source.

Thank you !

You are looking for something like this:

Select DESTTOSOURCE=notin DESELECTNOMATCH

It's available in the Edit menu.

Thank you so much Ixp. I feel ashamed I missed that. Dopus is sooooo powerful and flexible, I simply get lost sometimes. Thanks again.
