what do you mean by "recopy until 35" ?
In your destination folder you have 35 files / items.
In your source folder you have 10 files / items.
You want in your destination folder to be as many copies of your source folder files as items are in your destination folder originally?
what to do:
a.) 35 destination, 10 in source => copy 10 files 35 times in your destination folder?
b.) 35 destination, 10 in source => 70 files should be in destination afterwards. 2 times all from source and 1st 5 from source to reach 35 copies.
Or did I still not get it?

Hi Pryrates
if destination have 80 and source have 10 the total in destination is 160 toal
if the destination is 120 total will be 240
it mean that sorce file will copy 1,2,3 ... 10 then 1 ,2 ... 10 .1,2 ..10 antil sorce destination was copy 120 file but change the name

thank you
you are welcome
Can you be more specific?
Do you want to sync the content of two folders?
Folder 1 has 10 files.
Folder 2 has 35 files.
After copy Folder 1 and 2 both have 45 files?
Or just folder 2 should contain 45 files after copy?
