The Great Synchronization Forum Thread

via Binarynights blog by csaba on 5/5/08

Hello Guys and Girls,

It has been obvious to us, that the most needed and asked-for feature in ForkLift is the possibility to synchronize folders.
We are now happy to announce that we have started development of our synch module.
As we want to make this the best damn synchronization tool that ever was, we are asking You, our Esteemed User, for input on what you would expect from such a tool. To this end, we are now launching this new thread in our user forum, and encourage you to make yourself heard.

What we are looking for most, is descriptions of the tasks where you need to use a synchronization tool; and your ideas about how you would expect to manage the workflow of these tasks. We would like this to be a very open and active discussion, one that we hope will result in a tool worthy of the general excellence of ForkLift.

We will hear out any ideas, however weird they may seem You are welcome to post screenshots, diagrams, filelists, links, anything useful to this discussion.

Thanks for contributing

Syncopation trouble again

Posting this now while listening to a new album from iTunes Koppel Piano concerto #3, like Prokofiev.. anyway after downloading the latter I tried syncing but ran into the rotating ball syndrome :(

To cut the story short although I had Syncopation allowed all incoming in the firewall, I had to open to all before it could get through.

I think a temporary fix may be to remove Syncopation and put it back again, in the firewall I mean. Did that at both ends and the spinning ball has gone for now. Will keep my eye on it!

Btw, this was found later as a suggestion on Discussions by an expert..

Macscan and ClamXav on AIR

I haven't been running the above on AIR itself owing to the extreme CPU use, which results in temperatures up above 80C!

So today, I tested an idea I thought up in a semi-meditative state. Run them on the newly made SuperDuper clone, and that is what I have done. Amazing that I've had MacScan for so long and not run custome scan! That enabled me to choose AIR clone2 and scan ok.. the same with ClamXav, where I simply dropped gerald fraser folder onto it and let it zip. It took 3.5 minutes only and iMac could tolerate the high CPU use better, rising only to the low 60's :)
