Replace reference

Open msdobrescu opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

If a folder is marked as reference, the content will remain as such and untouchable. When marking as reference, the goal is to have the other files as duplicates in the results. But sometimes it is needed to switch them anyway. Add the possibility to switch between reference file and duplicate file when the user issues "Make Selection into Reference".

I don't understand any of this.

Compare folder A with B, Set A as Reference first. Then you decide from a duplicate set of files, X and Y, for simplicity (where X is from the reference folder A above), you want to keep Y file, which comes from the non-reference folder B. If try to switch between the reference and the duplicate, X by Y, in order to be able to check X file for deletion, it does nothing. This is proposed to be possible.
