Thread: Upd8 1.0.8

Can you try it on a standard XP installation?

or win2k even


Just copy the directory asis

i have some questions on this program

i've basically replaced ezsync with it and it looks like its working as it should, but how does it handle situations where the a folder isnt present? Does it time out then move down the list to the next "Loc" of does it just stop the sync? As far as i can tell it completely stops the sync.

To be safe (and sure about what i'm doing) i actually put remote folders on the local side of the location. Here is part of my .ini

Code:

Loc1=X:\sync\c\,C:\sync\,aup,*
Loc2=Z:\My Music\Rap\,C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\Rap\,aup,*
Loc3=Z:\My Music\R&B\,C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\R&B\,aup,*
Loc4=Z:\My Music\Rock\,C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\Rock\,aup,*
Loc5=Z:\My Music\Country\,C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\Country\,aup,*
Loc6=Z:\My Music\Dawns Music\,C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\Dawns Music\,aup,*
Loc7=Z:\My Music\Oldies\,C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\Oldies\,aup,*
Loc8=Z:\My Music\Soundtracks\,C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\Soundtracks\,aup,*
Loc9=Z:\My Music\Kids Music\,C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\Kids Music\,aup,*
Loc10=Z:\My Music\Techno\,C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\Techno\,aup,*
Loc11=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\Playlists\,Z:\My Music\Playlists\,aup,*
Loc12=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\Playlists\,X:\Drivers and Helpful Software\Ratings Backup\,aup,*

The X Drive is my thumbdrive and the Z drive is my home server. Its sync'n as it should when the drives are connected.. but it appears that if X is connected and Z is not Loc12 never gets run. Does having the remote folders on the local side cause this?

another small and seemingly unimportant thing i've noticed is that the list doesnt display "&", but it appears it still syncs with a folder that has an "&" in it. "R&B" just shows up as "RB"

It should carry on with the next one in the list, or at least it used to, however just having a quick look at the code I might have introduced a little bug by adding extra debugging code. Will check for sure and correct.

it looks like the B is underlined but its supposed to read R&B

here's another question while i'm on a roll....

is there something wrong with copying to a root path? For some reason i cant

Code:

Loc1=X:\sync\c\,C:\sync\,aup,*

the above code works for me. But...

Code:

Loc1=X:\sync\c\,C:\,aup,*

does not. It said "READING", the status bar goes white and it stays there frozen. I made sure that access.ok was in the C:\

Now that is strange, the label is just updated with the same info that is used for the folder name.

I'll have to do some testing to see if it will so it on a standard label. (I tried differents fonts and it definitelt isn't that)

Root path copying should be OK, just tested it here and it was fine.

It could possibly have found too many folders (the beta has a limit of 2000 folders which will raised significantly in the future releases), but I would expect it to crash with an error not just freeze.


In the ini file if you make Debug=True this will give a debug.txt file, which should tell where it stops but it will probably be in the reading folders sub.

Also there might be an error.log file that might give a clue.




PS thanks for the questions.

From what I can see, only testing with two paths, if the first path is not there there it does go onto the next, the only time it won't, although this will be fixed, is if the location in the first one was there but during syncing it loses connection. then it won't go onto the next.

...which is the problem.

Standard labels have .UseMnemonic property which defaults to 'True' which will take the first '&' and use it a shortcut key.

I was thinking something like but hadn't got around to doing much checking at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Cheers.



*edit, yep that was it. One down.
