The Outlook & Sync blog

The new version 1.34 of our file sync tool is out. The major change are the two new task types:

• Copy files always
• Delete files

The first one allows you copy files even when they seem be unchanged. This is great for creating backups of TrueCrypt containers because they change neither size nor date, when their contents are changed.

The second task task makes it easier to automatically deleted unwanted files. The nice twist here is that you can combine it Easy2Sync’s filter options for file and path names and file age.

You can find more information about Easy2Sync for Files on the file sync page.

Both Easy2Sync for Files and Easy2Sync for Outlook offer the option to summarize multiple tasks (via file > new) into a “task collection”. This is very useful if you wan to synchronize multiple folder trees or PST files in a row. Furthermore you can (via the menu ‘View’) hide all tasks from the main list that are already member of a task collection. This makes the list shorter and easier to read.

Only downside: Sometimes you want to run just a single task of the task collection. But you can’t do that if the task is hidden.

The trick here is very simple and very useful: Use the right mouse button to click on the task. The context menu contains not only the usual commands (like ‘Edit’), but also all tasks that are a member of that task collection. Now one click is enough to run the specified sync task.

We’ve just published a new release of Easy2Sync for Files. It’s a minor update, with little changes. If you had trouble setting up new tasks that only synchronize local folders (and not network folders), you should have a look. Furthermore, by popular request, the new version allows you to send status mails to multiple receipients (instead of just one).

As with all our software, updates are free for registered users. More info here: On our File sync software.

Version 1.26 of Easy2Sync for Files is out. The most important change is the reworked autostart dialog. It’s clearer now and better organized. And it offers new features.

You can now start a sync when a computer gets connected to the network or when a network drive becomes available. Check the new version out: Sync your files.

Originally Easy2Sync for Files was “just” able to synchronize files. By now it has outgrown that small island and has become a feature continent. You can synchronize, copy, move and do lots of other things with your files. Simply create a new task and choose one of the “move” task types:

Yes, there’s more than one because you can decide if you want to keep the directory structure or move that, too. Perfect for doing a backup of your files! Try Easy2Sync for Files!

One might argue if collecting stamps is a useful hobby. Collecting tasks however can be VERY useful. Both Easy2Sync for Outlook and Easy2Sync for Files feature something called “task collection” in the “new” menu:

Task collections are special tasks that group several other synchronization tasks. Once the task collection is run (manually or automatically), it starts all the files in the collections. For example, I have a task collection “Backup” that runs all the different backup tasks that I use to back up different parts and projects of my harddisk to a removable medium. One click, one coffee and I can sleep better.

BTW: This feature can be combined with a menu item of the “view” menu. It allows you to hide all the sync jobs that are member of a task collection from the main dialog. A great feature if you have so many sync jobs that it already messes up the main dialog, as it reduces the many synchronization jobs to a few task collections.

Another BTW: You can easily recognize the task collections in the main dialog, as they don’t have an icon to indicate their task type (sync, copy, etc.). Since they can icorporate many task types (sync AND copy) it doesn’t make much sense to display an icon.
