SyncTwoFolders ReviewWorks as stated. - Version: 1.2.5, 5/16/2008 07:37PM PST

Backed up my audio directory from:

Source: External firewire drive on Leopard 10.5.2 connected to network wirelessly

TO

Target: External USB drive on Windows XP connected via ethernet.

99% of files were already on the target drive.

I just wanted my new files on the source machine brought over.

Ran simulation and checked logs. Perfect.

Ran without simulation. Perfect.

Great job. My thanks to the creator of the software.

SyncTwoFolders Troubleshooting Reportapp "not responding" when you try to sort log by response - Version: 1.2.4, 4/26/2008 11:04AM PST

Although the SyncTwoFolders log allows you to click on different columns to sort the results of your sync, it freezes when you try to do so — probably because there's so much data.

I want to have my log displayed in order of the results of the sync, so I can group problem results together (like "error during the operation" and "source file older than target file" issues). Ideally, this could be set as the default sort in the log results.

But currently if I try to click the "•" column to sort by results, SyncTwoFolders freezes up, and I have to force-quit without saving my log. If I don't sort by the results column, I have to scroll through thousands of actions searching for the errors reported.

I had the same problem with 1.2.3, but if I just let SyncTwoFolders grind for 10 minutes or so, the log window WOULD eventually sort. But I let 1.2.4 grind for 40 minutes today and it was still not responding.

Great app! - But it seems it doesn't work with two computers: One running Leopard (the Source) and my laptop (running Tiger) on an airport network.... Any suggestions?
