Software update: DirSync Pro 1.48

Spread the love

Version 1.48 of DirSync Pro has been released. One or more folders can be synchronized with this open source program, for example a computer with a smartphone or USB memory stick. This can be both uni- and bi-directional. The program is written in Java and therefore platform independent. Downloads are available for DOS, Linux, OS X, and Windows, among others. The changelog for this release can be found below.

Added:

  • Option in the settings dialog to start the Schedule Engine automatically upon startup.
  • Option to override the read-only attribute in the destination folder when copying/deleting files/dirs.
  • Option in the Command Line Generator window to add /iconify to the generated command line (Feature request: Jim Buszkiewicz)
  • Drag & Drop feature for the source and destination folders. You can now simply drag a folder to the source/destination text fields (Feature request: Garry Benjamin).
  • Number of bytes of the analyzed files is now also shown in the statistics (feature request: Wolfgang).
  • It is now possible to add unlimited number of schedule tasks instead of one per category (feature request: Bill Brehm).
  • Right click context menu ‘Open’ for the DirSync Pro system tray icon (feature request: Evert-Jan).
