Suggestion : copy only pdf files not OCRed ?

Post by hectors »

Hello,
Could you add a way for SyncBack to copy only pdf files that have not been OCRed ?

I am asking this because I blocked ! ;( I want to be able to search in my archives keyword(s) inside all my pdf files (with for instance Copernic Desktop Pro). Problem: they are not all OCRed. I need to first copy those not OCRed in a new folder (so then I will be able to OCR them - more on that later ;) ).

Thanks in advance for any help. ;)

How do you suggest we distinguish OCR'd files from those not yet OCR'd?

There are already options to detect most file attribute flags and not copy them. It may be that you can arrange for the OCR software to set an attribute, but that is unlikely to help you if some files have bee processed already (and no attribute set)

Modify > Expert > Compare Options > Attributes is where you would set it to skip anything you could inaugurate to tell the files apart.
