To start a synchronisation click on the 'Sync' button in the lower part of the window. To search inside the analysis tree you can click on an item in the tree and type the first letters of the file or folder you are looking for, or you can type the file or folder name into the search box above the analysis and press return and the items containg your entered keyword will be expanded (this takes a bit longer).Īnalysis is not obligatory for running a synchronisation. From this context menu you can choose to sync the file or folder, delete it, rename it, add it to blacklist, or add it's extension to blacklist. If you right-click on a file or folder you will see a context menu. You can add the file or folder to the Blacklist or remove it from there simply by checking or unchecking the checkbox. This checkbox symbolises whether the file or folder is contained in the Blacklist of the current tab (explained below in 'Advanced options' and 'Section Blacklist'). Next to each file and folder in the Analysis you can see a checkbox. If you have 'Propagated deletions' option (explained below in 'Advanced options') turned on and Synkron finds out that a file or folder was deleted, the relevant cell will contain the text 'DELETED'. If a sync folder contains an older version of a file than the other sync folders, the last modified date of the file in the relevant cell will be painted red, otherwise it will be green. If a file or subfolder doesn't exist in one of the sync folders, the cell in the column of the sync folder and the row of the file or subfolder will be painted red and will contain the text 'NOT FOUND'. Icons of the files and folders which need to be synchronised are painted red. If you double-click on a column, the file or folder represented by the row will be opened from the sync folder represented by the column. In these columns are also shown the last modified dates of files. The column 'Folder 1' refers to the first sync folder from top in the order of the sync folders, 'Folder 2' refers to the second folder, etc. ) where you can see the state of files or subfolders in the sync folder. Every sync folder has it's own column in the tree (Folder 1, Folder 2. The outcome of the analysis is shown in a tree view in the middle part of the window, where you can see the content of all your sync folders grouped into a single tree. To analyse your sync folders click on the 'Analyse' button in the lower part of the window. The Analysis is a good way to see which files are going to be synchronised in the next synchronisation. To switch between these sections, use the toolbar. The user interface of Synkron is divided into several sections: Synchronise, Multisync, SyncView, Scheduler, Restore, Blacklist and Filters. Synkron is a multiplatform Qt application designed for synchronising two or more folders.Īpart from doing synchronisations, it provides many other additional features. 2.5.13 List files which need to be synchronised only.2.5.11 Options for configuring the analysis.2.5.9 Move contents to folder 2, leaving folder 1 empty.2.5.3 Do not synchronise subdirectories.
