Hi Keith,

I don't think the color problem will repeat unless you import a 2.9
ini file again. Feel free to modify colors.

Are you asking about the more info in the help file for Directory Sync
or the about the function itself?

To be blunt, it's pretty useless except for keeping two single
directories (without subdirs) in sync. The directory compare function
was intended to compare the two file windows files even when they
contain subdirs files also but it doesn't do the latter at the moment.
I am on the verge of making that happen at the moment. Hopefully it'll
be in 3.01.

Even when that all works as intended, it still may be better and
faster to simply copy the source to the target and delete the old
target.
