I noticed the "Syncronizing Browsing" which works great (thanks for adding that, very usefull.) and I noticed the 'Compare' folders options, but it doesn't match recursively.

Say a user has a Music folder with 20 artists in it, but might have added a new album in one of the Artist directory, and wants to be able to sync all folders, but doesn't remember which folder might have something new in it. If he uses 'Compare Folder Content' function, it will blank out all the folders, since they ARE all the same, HOWEVER one folder INSIDE a folder might be added, so FlashFXP currently would miss that subfolder because it's only checking the main folders, and not any subfolders within.
If FlashFXP can't do this yet (i couldn't seem to find this yet in each and every area so far i went into and checked.) Could Recursive folder comparing be added (I belive this is what it's called) as i do a lot of syncing, find this a very useful option to add since it already can compare directories, i would just like to see it be able to include subdirectories as well.

Thanks for listening. I just bought FlashFXP after trying it for a little while, and trying other fxp programs. FlashFXP is the best!!!
