Synchronize C: Drive with E: DVD Drive - Multisession DVD burned with Nero 10
The left pane shows C: & the right pane shows E: with “Files Already on the Disc (4)”
When I click on “Open a new lister in synchronize mode” E: Drive shows empty
How do I synchronize my hard drive with a DVD drive if nothing shows up? (or in other words what am I doing wrong?)
Synchronize works perfectly from hard drive to hard drive
If you look at what happens when you run that button, the new window isn't showing your E:\ drive at all; it's showing the temporary folder that files get copied to for burning to CD.
This is a quick/consequence of how the Windows CD writing system works. If the destination is a writeable CD, {destpath} will map to that temp folder, not to the actual CD. That way any commands which copy files to the destination will copy them to the right place.
Obviously, when opening a new window for the current paths, you don't want that mapping to happen.
In the current version of Opus there's no way to prevent {destpath} turning into the temp path in this situation, but I've made a change to be included in the next update which will allow you to use this command to get what you want:
@nolocalizefiles
Go CURRENT DUALPATH={destpath} LAYOUT=synchronize
Thanks for your help Leo
Looking forward to the next update
It would also be nice to have the choice of showing or not showing (Files Already on the Disc) above the folders when inserting a writable CD/DVD
