I wish to synchronise a local drive with its equivalent stored on a network drive. This drive contains about 23GB date, several thousand folders and many more files within it.
In Total Commander, it takes about 2 minutes to run the compare part of the Synchronise function. In Opus 9 after 2 minutes, comparing the drives had just reached 10%.
Can this be changed so that works quicker?
The settings you use in the sync panel can have a large impact on how long it takes.
What kind of sync are you doing?
The settings in the sync panel are as follows for Opus:
While the equivalent settings for Total Commander are:
Thanks.
I don't think there's anything you can change there to speed things up, so I guess Opus is just doing things in a slow way in this case.
If you don't want the sync to be interactive -- that is, you just want it to happen and don't need to see a list of changes first -- then you can do it faster by using the Opus Copy command. Doing a two-way sync using the command is a little complicated but I think it would work. Let me know if you're interested in that and I'll experiment a bit to make sure what I have in mind works.
Thank you for the offer, but I do need to see a list of changes first. I will make a proper support/feature request.
