Synchronize Hard drive with DVD drive

Opus 10 - Win 7 Pro SP1 x64

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

Where is that button / menu?

The synchronize button


That isn't part of the standard/default toolbars.

Which command does it run?

Does the following:

Go CURRENT DUALPATH={destpath} LAYOUT=synchronize

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
