    Mirror a dir with toolbar icon in folder compare ? Copy + delete (if necessary)

    Assume I loaded on the left and right two different directories with a huge tree insside.

    Now I want to mark one of the sub directories and click something like a "mirror" icon in the toolbar.

    This should start a full copy of new and changed files/directories PLUS a delete of non-existent directories
    on the target side.

    Currently I see only a "Copy" toolbar icon which does NOT delete outdated files/directories on the other/target side.

    How can I add " Mirror" toolbar icon?

    Hello,

    Some commands can be added to the toolbar by customizing commands. In BC4, this is in the Tools menu -> Options, Toolbars/Etc section, dropdown -> Folder Compare. Then search for Mirror and add to the toolbar. When using the Mirror command, be careful to note the Preview and that "Just Selection" is enabled. If Just Selected is disabled, the Mirror will act on the entire base folder pair, and will delete any differences anywhere on the destination side with no option to Undo.
