How does Beyond Compare deal with .AppleDouble folders and their files, that are created on non-Apple formated devices, such as a NAS device???
The problem I am having is that I have been making a copy of my Library folder, which includes a Caches folder. That folder contains the Firefox cache, which nominally is 350 MB. Over time, that folder has grown to 2.2 GB. It is a problem.
Maybe the first statement, you might make is "well, that's stupid. Don't do that with a cache folder." The second might be Sychronize the folders, don't copy.
But, the larger question for me is, if I am Sychronizing folders between the Mac and a NAS device, what happens to the files in the AppleDouble folder when a "regular" file is deleted from the NAS folder?
Are the stale Apple Double files deleted too?
Thanks.
I have loved your product. I have used it on PCs, Macs, and Linux.
