RE: SyncToy 2.0 Beta: make include subfolder dialog expandable
Hi,

i also have installed the SyncToy 2.0 Beta, (XP sp2, US English).
For me the 'select subfolders' option is simply missing. I checked in the
help , where the screenshot shows this option, under the 'Folder pair
options'.
I have uninstalled, and installed it again, still the same.
Is it me who is doing something wrong or should go back to v1.4 for that
option?
Thanks in advance
Dezso
