just the name. I'm working on a skin for a wiki. The wiki has a skin 
folder with default files. If  the files get modified they get saved in 
a diffrent dir. So to update the skin I have to copy it back to the skin 
dir. Since i dont no witch files was modified I have to check the 
folder. This I would like to automate.

More like the synchro feature in KBear. The problem is, that I never got 
the programm running properly, it crashes allways if I use the synchro 
feature.  I use the kubuntu 5.1 distro.  In kbear I can choose two 
destinations and and runn the synchro. The synchro looks whats diffrent 
and present a list. In the list can I choose witch files I would like to 
synchronise. What I would need there (I dont no if its possible) that I 
could save the settings (which files I did choose). I will install suse 
on a computer in some days then I will give it a try. I'm just wondering 
if the synchro feature is a KBear thing or if its actualy an other 
programm . .. .

I started just that, cause it seams most flexible
