Hi George
I love the look of this tool and wish to use it to replace using Robocopy.
However, I have the same issue as this thread. I want to "mirror" folders
between two computers left to right or right to left. But it does not
recognise deletions of files.
So I would put my vote in for the addition of this "mirror" functionality in
the next release please. I can then use it as a replacement for the robocopy
utility.
Until then sorry cannot use this tool with confidence.

Thanks.

"EIT",

Stick with Robocopy. I come from the other way around, having learned of
Robocopy only after spending way too much time playing with SyncToy trying
to get it to do the simple task of mirroring folders between a PC and
another one as a backup.

Pretty UIs can die as far as I'm concerned, if the core app is busted.

(ask me how I really feel) ;-)
