Hi all,

we've been recently asked for an easier way to do mirroring with
ECMerge.

Currently there are three ways, depending on how you expect to work:

* Select in the folder comparison options/2-way rules, the "Mirror
Left" or "Mirror Right" options, this is useful if you expect to only do
that kind of operation (because that option will be reused next time)
* Use the "Apply merge rules" in Folder Merge mode, and select
"Mirror left" or "Mirror right", it sets the mirror action on the
selected items, you can thus check what will be done, before clicking
"Write Results"
* Use the generic copy box, selecting the right direction and then
the Mirror action

The idea here would be to provide a new button (through scripting) which
would do that:

* Propose two menu items: "Mirror left to right" and "Mirror right to
left"
* if the current view is not yet in merge mode, it would swap it to
merge mode
* it would use the Apply Merge Rule box underlying action
(FolderDocument.resolve)
* it would then show a box asking if you want to review first or
apply immediately
* if you want to apply immediately, it would run the 'Write merge
results' command (FolderDocument.merge)

Any comment?
We'll provide that in the next days ;)
