Easy2Sync for Files 1.42 fixes bug caused by Avira

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

If you’re using the Avira anti-virus scanner, you might have seen error messages in our programs. They’re caused by a bug in Avira. Since Avira doesn’t release the bugfix this week (maybe next week?), we’re publishing a work-around. You can simply download the Easy2Sync update from the program page.

Or you could simply use Microsoft Security Essentials instead of Avira. (Free for private use) Fixes the problem, too. 😉

Synchronizing your browser bookmarks for free

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

One of the many small features that Easy2Sync for Files has is that it supports you when searching for the right folder. The folder where your browser stores your bookmarks, for example.

Simply create a new task in Easy2Sync and instead of entering a folder, click on the small black triangle on the right. The combo box will open and present you (among other things) a choice of your browser bookmarks. Simply choose yours and repeat this for the second computer. This works with the Freeware Edition for the browsers Opera and Firefox. (IE users will need the Home or Business Edition because of the subfolders.)

Easy2Sync for Files – New version 1.34

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

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.

Tip: Rapid access for task collections

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

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.
