Total Commander (English) • Re: synchronized scroll of left and right panels together

This sounds like a great feature to have. First time since dos total commander that I seem to have found something I need that TC that it can't actually already do. One can then put hotkey onto it so when you hold say shift or alt that scrolling is synchronized or locked. even the scroll lock key I don't use for anything ever.

I only need to make left and right windows locked or synced and scroll the same amounts of steps up or down, no folder or file synch or parking on exactly the same file. This command "cm_SyncChangeDir" . does not seem to do what I need.

I look at thumbnails and images with the same names and want to keep the best ones (overwrite bad ones) by comparing visually which ones I like, Not compare image quality. I do this for MAME games, movie posters and music covers etc. I can easily make sure left and right have same files in same order it is only the sync scrolling that is not there.

I am not looking for other apps, only for TC to obey my commands .

I have seen the macro ( AutoHotkey) suggestion from hacker viewtopic.php?p=439748#p439748 in the forum but it seems like overkill to achieve a fairly simple thing.

I will probably look into the macro until the new feature is implemented, but this seems to be an easy and useful feature to implement.
