Auto Sync Problem with 1.32
Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 6:49 am
Hi Admin or Max,
I decided to give the Auto Sync function a try. Nice job on the implementation. However I do have a problem that I hope you can help me with. The first Auto Sync I tried did not do anything. When I looked
at the log file it only contained Start synchronizing, Source, Target, Synchronization Mode and then Synchronization finished. None of the folders were compared. I realized right away what the problem was.
The folder selections are saved in the profile. I had just run an manual
sync which clears the folders selections after completion. When the auto
sync ran it looked in the profile for folder selections and found none. I verified this by doing the following. I invoked the application and then selected my folders. I then exited without running a manual sync. I then ran another Auto Sync. Sure enough the log file showed that all of my selected folders were compared. This is a real problem. I feel that it is unacceptable to have to remember to reset your folder selections after you run a manual sync before you exit the application. I think most users that are using the Auto Sync will also be doing manual sync's. If they forget to reset thier folders selections then the Auto Sync will do nothing. This problem could be solved by not clearing the folder selections after a manual sync. I am not sure why you are clearing the selections anyway? Even for users that are not using the Auto Sync it would be nice to return to the application with your last folder selections in place. Please help me to solve this problem. Thanks for your support...
