Instead, I think you'll need to use two normal file copies, one in each direction.

You can create a button which automatically skips existing files without prompting you to make this more convenient:

```auto
Copy WHENEXISTS=skip
```

You could probably also hardcode the source and destination paths into the command, or even put two copy commands (one going each way) into a single button to do the sync in one click... before we go there, though, give the simple button above a try and see if it does what you need.

PS: See the [Toolbars 1 video tutorial](https://resource.dopus.com/t/toolbar-editing-video-tutorial/1205/1) if you want to learn how to create your own buttons.[/quote]

Hello!

Yeah I guess that doing two seperate copies, one in each way will have to do. Too bad it's not possible to change the compare setting in the two way mode, it's a nice feature other than that but it's no biggie.

Thanks for the help!
