Is it possible to synchronize color labels? For example, i have two directories with movies an TV series, almost identical, only that one has labels, the other one doesn't. I could sort by labels, and set them manually, but it would be convenient, if we could also synchronize labels and status symbo…

I've modified the script to only sync explicitly set labels.

There isn't a built-in way to copy just the labels from one set of files to another. A script could do it, or a tool which syncs things down to the NTFS ADS level (most don't, but Robocopy might be able to). If there are only a few labels then it could also be done fairly easily by grouping the so…

Ok, i was halfways making a suggestion. To group the files in order to get the job done is also something, i have considered. Your trick will help also, or maybe i can use the checkbox mode for that, using the selectfromchecks command, which i already have here. I also have Robocopy here, but didn't…

I'm using your Sync tags between files already, whenever i need it, and it works fine. Yes, the same for labels would be very handy. Actually i would need it one way, but it wouldn't hurt, if it also could work both ways. I suppose, we have many more label users here, so that would be a neat item fo…

Here's a clone that works with labels. [image] Sync labels between files Buttons/Scripts This script merges the labels of the selected items (files and folders) in the source with those in the destination that have the same name. Only explicitly set labels will be process…

Sorry, not quite there. This is my test setup. With all the items on the left selected, i would expect the label properties copied over to the right. Even, if i select the label types seperately, still no success. The second screenshot shows the log. The Properties SETLABEL seems to list a whole bun…

Could you upload your test files?

They are just some JPGs with labels applied to them. Here is another example. test files.zip (110.2 KB)

[image] abr: test files.zip (110.2 KB) I like your humor. Kinda. Script seems to work here: Before [2022-10-20 - 07.22.59 - DtestjpgFolder1] After [2022-10-20 - 07.26.04 - DtestjpgFolder1]

You mean because of my examples? Sorry, but my original test files would have been about 60 MB, so i chose some smaller ones. I have now found the reason, why it didn't work, and how it would work. I'm using a label filter to apply the bld1 label (and another one for other types) to all new files. O…
