Hello Everybody,

this is a real difficult works, I show you my problem.
I have a lot of image, and sometimes I had to clean all deleted pic.
My photo archive is organized in this way.

Code: Select all

M:
│───────NIKON_D80
│       └───JPG
│           └───2010-02-10
│                 DSC_02345.JPG

Before to see my picture I always make a backup on 2 different hard disk, with the same infrastructure directory.

I work usually with JPG (ex. M:\NIKON_D80\JPG\*) directory to view and discard the photos.

My goal is to synchronize the RAW subdir in main disk, and on the other 2 hard disk JPG and RAW subdir,
when some pic is deleted in main disk folder (M:\NIKON_D80\JPG\* and M:\NIKON_D7000\JPG\*)

All directory and file name are without spaces

Could someone help me with this work?

Regards
Dario

Usually you have to run a DIR /S over the backup, then look for each file whether it still exists on the origin source.

For some reason I didn't understand on which drive letter you delete the files by hand and which drives you try to synchronize

Right I must run DIR /S and remove the differences.

on letter M: I delete JPG file, and on letter Y: and X: (backup) I'd like to syncronize with M:

Pheraps software like WinDiff.Exe works fine, but don't delete same file in format NEF

Untested for Y:\

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal
for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d /b /s "Y:\"') do (
  if not exist "M:%%~pnxa" ECHO del "%%~a"
)
pause

Remove the ECHO command if it displays the right files for deleting.
