2) File A is present on Directory 1 but not on Directory 2 because it was added to Directory 1 (therefore copy it to Directory 2)
To achieve this, it must hold metadata between runs <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/165.120.27.234|165.120.27.234]] ([[User talk:165.120.27.234|talk]]) 19:13, 21 December 2014 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
: to the last poster (IP): Actually the modification dates of files and folders would make it posible (thou risky) to decide between "adjust by deleting" and "adjust by copying" without a database. Anyway the need for a Database (and complying use of the program) seems an important point in the threads main subject "reproduce moves and renames in target" vs. "delete old path, copy to new place/name from other side".
: to Waldemar7k. True that Freefilesync (very good program anyway, like old win filesync) doesn't do the Job thou it states to use a database to recognize moves and conflicts. Even with Unison I didn't get it running (some time ago, must have been a bug), only time I really could reorganize my files without copying all of it again for just some minor name edits was when I was using commercial SuperFlexible File synchronizer.
: Actually I think that we should have kept the extra columnas right now it leads to very wrong expectations. But maybe it could be redesigned and we can find a way with little columns, maybe including the "conflict" column. Perhaps we can find some 3 or 4 types of capability concerning comparison and analysis.
: Complicated issue but important because I think it's very helpful for developers to know where they stand in the crowd of other solutions. --[[User:Dan-yell|Dan-yell]] ([[User talk:Dan-yell|talk]]) 00:08, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
