De mensen achter DirSync Pro zijn bezig met de ontwikkeling van versie 1.3 en inmiddels is hier de vierde bètarelease van verschenen. Met dit opensource-programma kunnen een of meer folders worden gesynchroniseerd, bijvoorbeeld een computer met een smartphone of usb-geheugenstick. Dit kan zowel zowel uni- als bidirectioneel. Het programma is geschreven in Java en daardoor platformonafhankelijk. Downloads zijn onder andere beschikbaar voor DOS, Linux, Mac OS X en Windows. Hieronder is te vinden wat er allemaal sinds versie 1.24 allemaal veranderd is:
Changes in DirSync Pro 1.3b4:Changes in DirSync Pro 1.3b3:
- Improved: Stopping a synchronization will always clears the sync queue.
- Fixed: Starting the synchronization initiates the analysis (again) if no analysis is already carried out (Thanks to Vespie for the bug report).
- Improved: 'Backup & Log' tab in the Job dialog are separated now.
- Added: Information boxes in the Job dialog are written out now.
- Added: Checkbox in the job tree to enable/disable a job (Thanks to Carlos for the suggestion).
Changes in DirSync Pro 1.3b2:
- Fixed: Job options were not set correctly in the GUI when using a custom mono direction synchronization. Fixed!
- Fixed: DirSync Pro does not crash anymore when a modification date of file is unreadable (e.g. due to file corruption). It just shows a warning now.
- Added: Reset job settings in the 'Actions' tab is implemented.
Changes in DirSync Pro 1.3b1:
- Improved: Synchronization performance is improved to be even faster.
- Added: The Jobs in the job tree have a tool tip now.
- Added: Pop-up menu in the job tree (right-click) is now decorated with icons.
- Fixed: Error while converting an old configuration to the new format.
- Added: Creating a backup of the configuration file before it is converted to the new format.
- Fixed: Some minor issues.
- Changed: Directory profile is now called 'job' to be intuitive. This is also convenient as we may have scheduling in the near future. ;-)
- Added: A new approach to setting up a job is implemented to be more user friendly. The GUI is changed a lot to support this approach.
- Added: Some pre-configured quick modes are added to easily set up mostly used sync configurations.
- Changed: The tab orientation of the Jobs, Sync Queue and Messages is changed to the bottom to fit better in the new GUI.
- Improved: The GUI window is resizable now so the users with lower resolution could still use DirSync Pro without having to shift the screen.
- Improved: Similar options of the job settings are now grouped into separate tabs.
- Changed: The list of jobs is changed to a visual tree.
- Changed: You need to open an edit dialog to edit a job setting now.
- Changed: Default setting tab is withdrawn to reduce complexity. You can now easily copy options to some or all directories.
- Improved: When you choose to swap all the source and destination directories, a confirmation dialog will appear. (Thanks to Matt for the suggestion)
