Changes

Changes in Version 1.09

Formal release of previous betas

Changes in Version 1.084 beta

changed the detailed sync analysis report dialog so the report buttons are only enabled if a view has files, and added a confirmation dialog if any files or folders are to be deleted.

Changes in Version 1.083 beta

Allowed the locations to be typed in directly instead of having to browse.

Changes in Version 1.081 beta

Fixed a problem preventing the removal of exclusions files.
Fixed a problem preventing opening of batch files.
Fixed a problem with files modified before 2000

Changes in Version 1.08

You can now optionally choose to have different simpler synchronise buttons with just a large arrow showing the synchronisation direction. (Configuration)
Changed the open file dialog so that you explicitly select which type of file to open - profile or batch. This fixes a problem on some systems that did not seem to show both types of file at the same time (XP).
The copy attributes option was not working properly and has now been fixed.
When adding a complete folder the exclusions were being ignored - now fixed.
Bug with case sensitivity in exclusion wildcards fixed.
Exclusion wildcards now improved to allow general wildcards eg. bl?h.* would match blah.jpg
The time limit on the registration key has been removed. This was just proving to be a nuisance to everyone and was achieving very little.

Changes in Version 1.07

Minor release bug in 1.06.

Changes in Version 1.06

Much improved file browsing.
Tooltips added to buttons (hover the mouse over buttons to view them).
Added a drop down for quick opening of recently used profiles.
Added a progress bar. This can be a little "lumpy" since data is transferred across more efficiently for larger files as less connection code has to be executed per byte transferred.
There is a new button for configuration. Currently this just allows turning tooltips off and on, and setting a date format preference. (Configuration)
The About and Registration buttons have been moved to Configuration.
A lost files button has been added to the exclusion dialogs which lists files/folders in the exclusion list that no longer exist. (Exclusions)
Added a time adjustment to deal with time differences between the the systems (Options)
Added the ability to compare files based on time or size (Options)
The current open profile is now displayed in the title bar.
Synchronise buttons have now been moved and had images added - this should make the synchronisation direction more intuitive
If an auto start direction has been set you can now opt to hide the other synchronise button. For backups and any other synchronisations that are only ever made in one direction this should help avoid mistakes. (Options)
In an effort to keep the general interface simple some less critical and less common options have been moved to a "More Options" dialog
A log files option has been added allowing a simple *.txt text file to be created with a log of options, errors/problems and results of a synchronisation to be stored. (Options)
An exit on completion option has been added that will exit SysSync as soon as the synchronisation is complete. (Options)
A silent mode option has been added. When selected the synchronisation will run with no feedback (dialogs, reports, error messages, questions) - designed to be used with the log file option. (Options)
An option has been added to duplicate all the source file attributes on the target system. (Options)

Changes in Version 1.04

SysSync should now work correctly with DirectCD disks. There was a problem with empty folders on these disks.
There is now an option to permit overwriting and deleting read only files.
Fixed a problem that may have been causing occasional hanging of SysSync particularly whilst deleting files.

Changes in Version 1.03

All file checking is now done before all the overwriting, copying etc. This has enabled the following modification.
There is now an option to check a list of all actions before execution and optionally to remove individual actions so they will be omitted.
Fixed problem of profile only showing in its short form (8.3) when opened by double clicking the file.
Fixed problem of being unable to access help when opening SysSync by double clicking a profile.
If a profile was open when SysSync was last closed that same profile will automatically be opened when it is next run (unless run by double clicking a different profile). However it will not auto-start.
A profile can now be closed - this is only really useful if you mostly do not use profile very much and find it a nuisance having SysSync always opening the last profile when it starts up.
SysSync can now be minimised.
If there are network problems (such as the network not being present), this is now detected much more quickly. Both the source and destination paths are checked first before anything else is done and if either fails the synchronisation terminates immediately, the problem log should give details of the problem.

Changes in Version 1.02

One or two minor bugs fixed.
The delete and add folder processes have been improved to give specific information on what was added or deleted and any problems encountered. Previously if for example one file in a folder to be added could not be copied across for any reason the problem report only stated that the folder could not be added which in fact was probably not even true!

Changes in Version 1.01

Exclusions added - allowing files to be selected to be excluded from the synchronisation.
Profiles added - allowing profiles to be saved with all the configuration for a synchronisation allowing it to be repeated quickly and easily at a future date.
The report on completed synchronisations has been improved with greater detail showing what has been done.
