Merge

From Forklift Wiki

ForkLift is again going for a Great Firsts on the Mac OS X platform with its new ability to merge folders, just like on Unix and Windows systems.

Because of the way OS X treats folders as individual packages, when Finder copies a folder in one location over another folder with the same name in another location, it will simply overwrite the second folder with the one being copied, regardless of its contents.

Relying on the components created for the Folder Synchronization feature, ForkLift is now able to offer the option to merge folders, which means to examine the contents of the two folders, and combine the enclosed files and subfolders in such a way, that the resulting folder contains all the items enclosed in the two original folders.

When duplicate items are found, ForkLift will prompt you to decide which item to keep (Skip or Replace). You can check the option to Apply to All to replace or skip all duplicate items.

Merge is offered as an option when making a copy or move operation on two folders of the same name.
