            Bug ID: 438055
           Summary: [wishlist:] Simple synchronization of folders
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 19.12.3
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: udippel at gmail.com
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

I personally feel that Dolphin misses a major feature: synchronization. 

There are some 'overdone' client-server additional *buntu applications to
achieve this, but to me, for my daily needs, I'd rather have two folders in a
split screen, and then a button or likewise in order to "Synchronize content of
screen B to content of screen A". 
Meaning, anything that is newer in A or non-existent in B will be copied
(meaning, in principle cp -a -u -v A B).
This is already possible, with copy, and eventually Skip / Overwrite.
Plus, and this isn't there yet, delete anything in B which does not exist in A.

I am convinced that many people would appreciate a simple synchronization of
folders with external drives, thumb drives, and also folders located on a
single drive. 
As of now, the brute method is deleting the target completely and re-writing
everything. 

Thanks for pondering,

Uwe
