--- Comment #4 from fred frazelle <frazell...@gmail.com> --- You are correct, Alex. As you have surmised, i'm still trying to figure out the difference between sync and... find. Since once i used sync and it seemed to work, i decided not to go looking for more options - the: if it's not broke rule. What i did was to put /home/frazelle09/Documents in each of the two panes, then put in the date values and the excluded directories and synced. This provided what i was looking for: a list of the folders and their files. Once this went to the File list box, in the other pane i opened the backup folder i had created and that is where i copied the folders and files. Lol - i know it perhaps sounds kinda dumb now, but i've been using it for the last umpteen years and the process has served me well so you can imagine my dismay when the copy with retain folder structure no longer worked. Have a super afternoon! :-) fred ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 05/18/2017 10:05 AM, Alex Bikadorov wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377268 > > --- Comment #3 from Alex Bikadorov <alex.bikado...@kdemail.net> --- >> i suspect that what you are suggesting would only copy the files to the > new folder, but would leave out their folders. > > No, I plan to preserver the folder structure.
