  1. Regarding the .SyncTrash folder:

    Even if "Delete files to Sync trash" is disabled for a shared folder a new folder with this name is created, when a delete operation takes place. This shouldn't happen.

    Another small feature request:

    It would be nice if we could export the history (from the History tab) to a file.

  2. Hey,

    thanks for the invitation.

    Installed it on Win 7 x64 Ultimate and Windows Server 2012 Datacenter.

    Both clients are running fine so far, encountered no issues.

    Things that I've noticed:

    - The client that is currently receiving files popups the tray info icon MUCH too often. Maybe add options to control this behavior?

    Two of them should be:

    a.) Disable popups completely

    b.) Only show a popup when the transfer queue is empty (finished after transferring all current files

    - Transfer speed

    Local lan, no internet sync. Copying one large file (850 MB) via SMB takes 8 seconds. Both clients are connected via a 1GBit Network and their SSDs are not the limiting factor :)

    Syncapp needs 35 seconds (roughly 24MB / sec) to do the same.

    Any chance that this can be improved further?

    - .SyncTrash folder

    Would it be possible to use a global one, instead of one for each synched dir?

    Otherwise it would be nice if we could just point to a folder where the deleted files are stored.

    - .SyncID

    I'm not a big fan of files that are created through sync applications (quite a few do that) in synched folders. Would it be possible to store these contents in a portable database (sqlite) or maybe in an .xml file instead? Ofc this should be placed in the data folder of Syncapp (currently C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\SyncApp\) instead.

    One rather major feature request:

    - A portable version (Windows OS)!

    The current version does make only a few registry (thanks for that^^) so it shouldn't be too hard to store them in a .config file (ofc creating file associations for .btsearch | .torrent should be disabled in that case). Finally all the setting should be stored in a subdir of the SyncApp folder, instead of the current user's dir.

    Minor feature request:

    - A spinning tray icon when there is synching activity (has been requested already iirc).

    So much for now, thanks alot for the new version!

  3. You really think, this is a questionable feature? oO

    Delta copying (or syncing) saves bandwith & time and both things are very valuable things (at least in most countries where your upstream is rather limited). I've used rsync for my cloud backups so far (under Windows *urgs*) just because it's so efficient because of it's delta copying feature...
