Dear support Team,
Thanks for this great tool which iam interesting on it, but I would like to ask,
At Consolidation, or any other way can I Consolidation some files/folders to one when they have the same name, e.g.
1. Source: Folder 1 and Folder 2, each folder has 100 files the name is from 1-100 can I have the Target Folder 3, the file 1 is existing 2 times in folder 1 and in folder 2 but the content of both files different, can I consolidation both in one Files 1 has 100 updated with new content. e.g.:
a. folder 1 has file name (file 1) has content (1,2,3)
b. folder 2 has file name (file 1) has the content (4,5,6)
2. Target: I should have Target folder 3 and has the file name (file 1) has the content (1,2,3,4,5,6)
Exampl 2:
3. Source: Folder 1 and Folder 2, each folder has 100 files the name is from 1-100 can I have the Target Folder 3, the file 1 is existing 2 times in folder 1 and in folder 2 but the content of both files different, can I consolidation both in one Files 1 has 100 updated with new content. e.g.:
c. folder 1 has file name (file 1) has content (1,2,3,4)
d. folder 2 has file name (file 1) has the content (1,2,4,5,6)
4. Target: I should have Target folder 3 and has the file name (file 1) has the content (1,2,3,4,5,6)
Is this possible?
Thanks for your feedback,
Alex

1) and 2)
Not possible. FreefIleSync (FFS) can not merge files.
But even batch/script files could only do that if the file-content would be plain text or plain text based.
3) and 4)
Also not possible. And even harder than a plain merge, as the overlap between file-content would need to be determined before merging in a smart way.

Thank you so much for your reply.
As I have only text files in all folders this is good news and hope thats will be working. I am trying to find out first how to do the Batch Script files, or find some one to do it.
Then will be back to you.
Thanks
Alex

I answered that FFS can/does NOT do what you describe.
Even not when the files involved are plain text files.
The script/batch file I am referring to, would be a self created cmd/com, PowerShell, Basic or whatever other script; not a FFS *.ffs_batch file.
An FFS batch file is "just" an FFS sync configuration (like a *.ffs_gui file) that can run without the FFS GUI.
