Download DirSync Pro 1.4

DirSync Pro has completed the development of version 1.4. 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, Mac OS X and Windows, among others. In version 1.4, among other things, the part to schedule tasks has been improved, the program can now be minimized to the system tray and a large number of bugs have been fixed. The release notes for this release are as follows:

DirSync Pro 1.4 final is released!!!

And finally: DirSync Pro 1.4 final! For those of you who have not been with us since 1.31: DirSync Pro 1.4 contains tons of bug fixes and improvements and many new features among which:

• DirSync Pro has got a powerful Schedule Engine which lets you schedule synchronization tasks on many different ways, minutely, hourly, daily, weekly and monthly. Advanced users may use many options available in DirSync Pro to suit the synchronization behavior in details. A synchronization queue is added which lets you monitor the schedule engine activities.
• You can now access the recently open documents right from the menu.
• DirSync Pro can now auto-load the last opened document if you wish to.
• DirSync Pro generates now command line exit codes which may be parsed for post processing. (0= Finished with No Errors, 1=Finished with Warnings or Non-fatal Errors, 2=Stopped due to fatal errors).
• DirSync Pro is now able to create three types of logfiles: 1) Job specific log file which contain the events of a job, 2) Jobset log file which contain the events of all the jobs within the jobset, 3) Program log file which contain the events of all jobsets.
• You may let DirSync Pro now to automatically create a command line for your sync job to run in a batch and you may even save it to a batch file (MS Windows: .cmd, Linux-like: .sh).
• New option to ignore daylight saving granularity which could be useful when synchronizing between FAT and other file systems around the daylight saving period.
• New option to synchronize directory timestamps, relevant for MS Windows.
• New option to keep the sync queue after the synchronization so that it can be run again. This might help in case some items are not synchronized because of file system errors.
• DirSync Pro can now be minimized to the system tray.
