Change Log for the latest
XYplorer BETA version (64-bit):
Code: Select all
v28.00.0215 - 2025-10-09 12:37
+ Panes | Sync Folders...: Added checkbox "Exclude hidden files and folders". Does
what it says.
Note that this UI Sync Folders function has always been and still is hard-coded to
skip junctions. The "sync" scripting command now offers options for this, see next.
+ SC sync: Added optional argument custom_flags.
Syntax: sync source, target, [copy_items], [on_collision], [delete_items], [switches], _
[logfile], [filter], [on_failure=-1], [custom_flags=1]
custom_flags [optional] (bit field)
0 = Copy junctions as folders
1 = [Default] Skip junctions
2 = Copy junctions as junctions
4 = Exclude hidden items (referring to the HIDDEN file attribute)
Examples:
sync "T:\Test\Source", "T:\Test\Target", 5:="ck", 9:=1+4; //show config, keep open; skip junctions + exclude hidden
sync "T:\Test\Source", "T:\Test\Target", 9:=4; //copy junctions as folders + exclude hidden
* XYcopy (x64): Updated to 2.20.0017.
