Software Update: DirSync Pro 1.2b3

DirSync Pro is an open source program that allows the contents of different folders to be synchronized with each other. It is written in Java, which makes it work on many operating systems. It supports both uni- and bi-directional synchronization, allowing you to pass changes on both sides to each other, and the application is easy to set up via the interface. The developer has released the third beta version of DirSync Pro 1.2 with the following announcement:
