Favorite Synchronizers that call WinMerge

[heintze]

I've been futzing with the open source 'unison' program that synchronizes your local directory with the directory on a jump drive.

I cannot figure out how to make it call WinMerge when both the local copy and the jump drive copy have been edited.

So I tried Syncback thinking surely this would have the feature I'm looking for: no luck.

So what is a good but free file syncrhonizer that will call winmerge when both the source file and the destination file have been edited independently?

Is there anyway to tell the synchronizer program that you intended to delete a certain local file and it should not restore it from the jump drive? On other other hand, if you have two computers A & B that both use unison (for example) to synchronize to the same jump drive and computer A has added a new file that gets propigated to the jump drive, the synchronizer (e.g. unison) needs to know that this is a new file on the jump drive that needs to be copied to computer B instead of deleting it from the jump drive. How can this be automated?

Thanks

I have been using Microsoft's SyncToy to synchronize files on two computers for years and I am quite happy with it.
