How do I synchronize files only on file permission changes?

[jtp51]

ViceVersa Pro 2 Registered Version Build 2014

I have search this forum, but I'm not having any luck. How do I synchronize files only on file permission changes?

i.e. files are r/o in the Source, but are not in the Target.

Thanks,

Hi, ViceVersa PRO syncs file permissions only when copying the files, it does not sync only file permissions.

Same issue here.

So, I'm snookered if I want to replicate r/w file permission changes from my development machine (where my source is under source-control) to a backup machine which isn't under source control?

Will this be implemented or not? If not, then please let me know as I need a solution and will write one myself if I need to.

thanks.

I don't know at this point.

Honestly, I don't think Site Admin understands my original question, so I'll try again.

In the source directory I have a file:

-rw-rw-r-- 1 tpatrick staff 1291 Jan 24 10:45 Exception.java

In the target directory I have a file:

-r--r--r-- 1 tpatrick staff 1291 Jan 24 10:45 Exception.java

When I compare the directories using the Synchronization method or any method for that matter, I want the files to be listed under the "Only Newer and Older" view.

Right now, the files only show up under the "Only Matched" view.

To restate my question, how do I synchronize files only on file permission differences?

Thanks,

Hello, ViceVersa does not consider file permissions when comparing, if a file has the same name, timestamp and size it is considered a match. In one of the next releases we plan to improve this. ViceVersa could consider file permissions during comparison (or at least provide an option for it). thanks
