Comparison does not recognize certain files and folders

Post by rozsko »

Hi,

I just installed the latest and greatest version to evaluate the tool's sync capabilities, and I have to tell you that I am genuinely amazed.
There is one problem though that I can't seem to figure out.
The task is to sync my photos between a local folder (Win10x64) and a NAS share.
Before I run the profile for real, I executed it as a test run and saw some weird entries in the log, where it finds some folders and pictures (~3000) that exist on the NAS, but not on the local drive.
I checked quite a few examples and interestingly, the 99.9% of the files/folders I checked exist on the left too, but for whatever reason they are not recognized by the compare process.
I initially suspected that accented characters in the path or file name are causing the issue, but then I dropped that as I realized the path on the left always contain accented character due to the root folder contains one (Képek).
Can you guys help me to figure this out?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Béla

Thanks for the reply.
I actually took one more and much deeper look, and turned out there were some but very little and barely noticeable differences on the left and right side, so I made some manual correction.
Now I need to make some corrections to the different dates and then I can re-run the sync.
