If we would describe Faketwin in one short line then
it would be:
It copies a complete directory structure but make the
files fake.

It is a program, with which you can create a fake
copy of a directory. Fake means that the files in the
copy will either be empty or the contents will be
filled with spaces. Optionally store the original
file sizes in the copied files.

It is especially made for professional users who can
use this for summarizing or monitoring reasons.

How it works - short

1) Choose a source:
The source is a single directory which eventually
includes subdirectories. You can select by using the
selection panel and then clicking 'add selected' in
the source panel.
You can also use the file menu: Source folder -
Enter... .
Once you made selections you are recommended to use
the quick history menu in the file menu for selecting
the same folders again later on!

2) Choose a destination:
Select the destination folder similarly as the source
folder.
Remark that the folder that you select is infact the
parent folder for the twin. An example:
Suppose you select as source folder
C:\My Documents

... and as destination (parent) folder
C:\My FakeTwinCopies

... then the actual twin will be automatically named
something like:
C:\My FakeTwinCopies\faketwin_of_C_-my Documents

3) Hit the run button
The actual twin folder is made now and the subfolder
and empty files are created taking into account some
options.
