Awesome program! One suggestion.
Hi.
I've been using SyncBack v3.0 for about 30 minutes now and think it's awesome (never used any version before). I use another synchronization program at present (not freeware) which doesn't have all of the features of SyncBack. There's only one thing stopping me permanently switching though, and that's the differences dialogue when synchronizing.
I had a look through the forum, and discovered that mickyj and a few others aren't really interested in seeing/using the differences window, but depending on your use, I think it's important. Especially when synchronizing two computers.
Being monumentally paranoid, I like to check first hand what files are about to be overwritten, copied and deleted, and I think this has saved me from disaster quite a few times.
The 'results' window in my current program displays the source and destination directory for each file, the direction in which it is to be copied, and each file is colour coded according to the action. The action can then be changed in almost any way by right clicking on the file. When synchronizing files with SyncBack the overwriting direction is harder to determine, and you can't reverse the synchronization direction (amongst other actions) unless you select the option to be prompted for each file (very tedious).
If the differences window in SyncBack was more informative and versatile, I think I'd switch.
Thanks for reading,
Dash
PS Please accept my apologies if I've missed something in the program. Let me know and I'll retract this.[/img]
