Hello all,
I have put up the graphical filesystem sync plugin on my server, available to use and test for anyone who is interested. This plugin will sync a remote windows share to a directory on your car pc, and graphically display status and progress, and also allows the user to stop Sync before it is complete... This is only done in English and Danish languages as of right now (anyone who can help with the other language translations please feel free
). Please note the following for usage:
1) You must configure the Settings, go to Settings -> SyncFS
2) "Remote Media Share' must be entered (ex. \\Server\Share)
3) "Local Media Path" must be entered (ex. c:\media)
4) "Character Patterns to Sync" must be entered (ex. mp3,mpg,mpeg,wav)
>> Sorry, as of right now all of these settings must be typed in from the OSK, I will add directory browsing later in development.
EDIT 6/1/2007 Directory Browsing and ListViews Added !!
EDIT 6/23/07 ListView added for character pattern list
5) A button must be set up for SyncFS. Go to Settings -> Button Layout and set the button for the SyncFS action.
6) You should be able to go to the Sync screen and sync right away. Please note that I have not tested the "AutoConnect" feature yet, so if you're not currently connected to a network I can't guarantee what will happen...
WORKLOG :
EDIT: 7/10/2007
Version 1.03, Compiled for CF 1.20 ...

EDIT: 6/23/2007
Version 1.02, Compiled for CF 1.14+ ...
1) Added listview selection mechanism for adding/removing "character patterns to sync" in setup screen.
2) Added code to constantly check for network connection during sync.

4) Added removal of folders on local filesystem when the corresponding remote folder is no longer in existence.
5) Added update support in code so that Settings do not get reset when updating to new version
