Hello
thank you very much for your software which i have been using for a very long time.
a small suggestion for a future version which would seem very practical to me:
an expand / reduce button (shortcut + and - as in windows?) the folders in the results panel after comparaison would be very useful to validate or not the actions of the software. if in addition this function was adjustable in terms of recursion and adjust the number of levels of files in case of development it would be a real Rolls
here is thank you in advance for an answer and in any case for your software.
One of the best or the better and I have tested a lot

Risky proposal, as in collapsed form you may miss unexpected/unintended proposed sync actions in the Compare result window.

Perhaps not exactly what you request, but it may come close enough:
You can expand/collapse folders in the Overview window (left bottom), and when you select a folder in the Overview window, files in that folder are highlighted in the Compare result window.

Thank you for your reply
ok I saw but what I would have liked is to be able to compact the display of the folders because when you have 15,000 files to update, you get lost quickly.
too bad, if you find this option dangerous I would do without it but I had thought that users were able to use the display options wisely and without major risk

It is not my call; I am not the author, just an active forum member. But ...

There have been several posts in this forum in which users, after having lost data, blame FFS or its author for not protecting them against their own (kindly stated ...) inattentiveness. Hence my caution.

Was my hint of selecting folders in the Overview window useful to you?

Oops sorry; I no longer followed the thread
no because the goal is to quickly see more clearly so that doesn't really help for that
I just saw a new version ... maybe
on the other hand, surprised suddenly not to have any feedback from the creator (s) but they should perhaps not have time cordially
