I've created a snapshot across my local drive, waited half an hour and then done a comparison of the snapshot.

This has resulted in VV Pro listing files that have been added/deleted or are older/newer.

What I now want to do is to produce a report/spreadsheet that pretty much replicates what I can see in source and target windows - so just the added/deleted/different files.

I know you can produce a list of ALL the files included in the comparison but that's not what I require.

Is there any way to produce the report I need?

Kind regards,

Chris

Many thanks for the speedy reply.

I probably didn't make it very clear in my original post.

I'm aware of the List, Save options but these save a list of all the files (matching, single, older, newer and deleted).

What I want to do is to remove all the matching files (click on the green tick to grey it out) to just show the files that have changed or have been deleted. I then want to produce a report on just these files.

For example when you click on 'Lists', 'Save', 'Save Source to a File...' a dialog box would appear giving you tick boxes to decide what to include in the report. Something like the following:

Include all []

Include matching files []
Include single files []
Include newer files []
Include older files []
Include deleted files []

Ticking 'Include all' ticks all tick boxes. Ticking any of the other tick boxes unticks 'Include all'. The report created then only shows the items ticked.

Hope that makes sense.

Kind regards,

Chris

Your 'a dialog box would appear giving you tick boxes to decide what to include in the report' is more of a Feature Request ie it does not exist at present

Hopefully I'm closer to understanding you though with this 'part solution'...

So with the Profile Execution Method set to 'Backup (Mirror Source to Target)', this way only the new files/folders added to Source and also updated files in Source (newer) are shown, try this :

- Run the 'Compare'
- CTRL+A to select the files in the Source Window (or CTRL+B to select the files in the Destination Window)
- '[ Lists ] >> [ Save ] >>' - 'Save Selected to a file...'


Save as a '.CSV' if you intend to manipulate it in Excel I'd suggest.
