Hi,
does anyone here know if it is possible to synchronize two folders with nautilus? For instance when I want to copy some new podcasts to my iaudio player, nautilus only gives me the option to either skip everything, and then nothing is copied, or overwrite everything, and then everything is copied, wich takes a long time since I have a lot of podcasts...

hey,
You can use rsync with -u which will update only the destination directory.
You can also use Unison.Read the article below.

I have considered both, but I am looking for a solution that integrates better with Nautilus.

Maybe Novell's opensourced iFolder is an idea? Don't know how well it would integrate with Nautilus though. See http://www.ifolder.com/index.php/Main_Page

hmm, not exactly what I was looking for... iFolder is mainly for synching stuff across a network. What I would like is just a simple "merge" option when I middle-click drag'n'drop a folder somewhere. Does anybody else think this sounds like a good idea?

Locally it's probably faster to just copy than to read both and compare and then copy. Or is this supposed to believe that similar directory entries don't need to be compared?

Have you considered using nautilus-scripts? I mean you can use `zenity --file-selection --directory' to selection the target folder, and use 'cp -u' to sync source and target dirs. It seems quite easy to implement, all you need to know is shell scripting.

Come to think of it, there is a nautilus project that adds little apps under the right mouse button. Maybe you could hack together an rsync script and activate it in the directory you are in. Don't remember the name so I don't have an url.
