If I have several different sessions set up to sync between different locations, is it possible to place a "wrapper" around them and have all of them run at the same time?

It isn't possible to load multiple saved sessions all at the same time in an interactive session of BC.

BC also doesn't support loading multiple base folders (although we're considering it for the future).

In the current version, if you have multiple folders to sync, load a parent folder that contains all of the folders to be synced. Then, use a filter to limit the folders affected.

Example: Sync c:\folder1 and c:\folder2 to d:\folder1 and d:\folder2 without getting files in c:\ or other folders on c:\.

Set c:\ and d:\ as the base folders in Beyond Compare. Set your filters: toolbar to "-.\*;.\folder1\;.\folder2\".

This will only sync the filtered folders, and leave other folders and files alone.

Hi rshinkle...

That's what I was trying to do.. So I build several BC scripts and call them from a batch file. Works great.
