  1. Bittorrent Sync 1.3

    in Sync General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by GreatMarko
    Link removed - Sync should only be downloaded from official BitTorrent Inc sources

    I just have one question:

    Where can I get 1.2.92 version?

    I'd like to go back to 1.2.92 from 1.3.

    For one thing, the way folders are displayed now is not something I'd be looking for. To me, this is incorrect. Now, it is simply confusing, as I have some folders with the same name but in totally different paths, and so, when I switch tabs back and forth, I would not like to use the tool tip just to find out which folder is which and which device is connected to which exact folder.

    As to all other things that were done in this release, I do not see anything that affects me at the moment.

     

    Yeah if you saw my posts above thats exactly what I was stating. Please go over to the "wish list" thread and pour it out there :D

    Oh and there ya go http://syncapp.bittorrent.com/1.2.92/

    and if the link above is offline here is just all the files downloaded and mirrored over at MEGA

    And if the Staff doesn't like me mirroring old software please contact me :)

    So.

    As I mentioned in the 1.3 Thread here are my requests for a feature that should be re-implemented and one that should be implemented in the future.

    As stated here:

    BUT

     

    I wanted to post the Idea here directly:

     

    • Enable in the "My Sync" and "Devices" -view an option to show an additional column that displays the direct path to the shared folder.
    • The ability to sort my shares for their name, size or path

    The Wishlist is kind of awkward.. I don't know what it is but it feels like that this is just a thread to dump ideas that never get picked up.

    Also this, the column I have in mind,  shouldn't be a "feature" to post on a so called "wishlist" this is just a basic thing that should be standard.

    I want to be able to sort the shares list on name of the share, size of the share or its path.

    For example jDownloader. Geez you have dozens of columns to add and since the lack of the path is introduced in 1.3, my opinion and the discussion should be here in the the thread.

    The wishlist thread is also somewhat redundant :-D .. well that's another story

     

    (early 1.3 builds didn't even have this! - so a tool tip is currently better than nothing!)

    it sure is. But it doesn't make any sense to me why the completely got rid of the ability to show it.

    I know I could hover over the folder name but that's as quick. Since there are now columns would it be to harsh to ask wether you could make an option to turn on a "View full path" column?

     

     

    If you "hover" your mouse over the folder name in the "My Sync" or "Devices" tab, its full path will be shown on a tooltip

     

    Well there is that.

     

    IMO there is plenty of space to show, optionally, the full path or the path to the share in a seperate column.

    Awesome! Thanks for the update! I'm excited to see where this project is going..

     

    /e and my first complaint about the new "My Sync" and "Devices" Tab.

     

    If I have multiple shares called "Stuff" it's not easy to see what the parent path of the share is..

     

    For my Sync Shares I have something like this (take a look at the screenshot)

     

    C:/BTSync/
            + Shares
                + Sam
                    + Stuff (is a single share)
                        + ....
                    + Dropbox (is a single share)
                        + ....
                    + Temp (is a single share)
                        + ....
                + Dean
                    + Stuff (is a single share)
                        + ....
                    + Dropbox (is a single share)
                        + ....
                    + Temp (is a single share)
                        + ....
                + Zoe
                    + Stuff (is a single share)
                        + ....
                    + Dropbox (is a single share)
                        + ....
                    + Temp (is a single share)
                        + ....
            + Local (is a single share)
                + ....
                + ....

     

    For me it's now hard to see who the shares belong to or to be more accurate what Share I share with.

    I know I could hover over the folder name but that's as quick. Since there are now columns would it be to harsh to ask wether you could make an option to turn on a "View full path" column?

    I am not editing a file with multiple users. I only have the file open in one place, but I need it to sync immediately after it is saved (while the file is still open for further editting...for mostly likely a whole day).

     

    Example:

    1. I open an excel on a work PC and add stuff in, then save. (Excel file is still open, so BTS can't sync).

    2. Several minutes later, I add new stuff in and save. (Excel file is still open, so BTS can't sync).

    3. An hour pass, I add new stuff in and save. (Excel file is still open, so BTS can't sync).

    4. Power outage and the work PC shutdown, so BTS can't sync.

     

    Result: The excel on my laptop doesnt have the new data from the work PC excel because BTS can't sync it while it is still open (in steps 1-3 above). Thus I cannot continue my work on the excel.

    So you want a proper versioning solution with BTS? I definitely can see your benefit of it but I don't see it coming since even Dropbox doesn't support something like this. They have to deal with file-locks also and I guess the easiest way to do this is just close the file and wait till sync is done and then reopen it..

    And try to think from the side of BTS: the client has to check EVERY second or even less if any bit of the hashed files has changed and that consumes a lot of compute power and if you work on a mobile client without the power cord plugged in.. well :D that's a short business day. At the moment the cycle is at 10min default if I'm not wrong and that's just the time where the files are being checked. But every 5 seconds your client makes a connection to r.usyncapp.com (yeah obviously relay servers), t.usyncapp.com (which are some amazon cloud servers where they are buying cumpute time I guess) and usyncapp.com (update server?! it's port 80 so I guess thats just for the update request for a new BTS version) and checks for your any other information there so that's battery consuming as well

    and I think it's not that smart to have an always-on connection to your shares.

    It's diffrent if you do that in a browser where you can end the connection right away when you're done editing..

    Please make file syncs immediately when it is (re)saved even if the file is still open. For example, I have an excel open and when I save, it isn't syncing at all unless I close the file. That is so annoying. Dropbox doesn't do this and syncs immediately when the file is resaved and still open.

    You don't understand how BTS works. BTS is not a service where you can edit a file with muliple users like Google Docs or so..

    BTS locks the file while you edit it on all devices you try to access it from. I don't think this is possible.

  10. Latest Sync Build: 1.1.70

    Well ok didn't do my homework right on 1)

     

    but on 2 and 3: if they have a beta phase going on and they fix bugs and they have an update checker build in why don't they use it? If they have a version that is not secure or stable they won't release it but if it is why don't they make use of the update machanism build into the app?

     

    /e "2) The update checker is NOT broken - not every "beta" build is pushed out via auto-update" and why do they put the new version on the download page while the update button says that the current, old, version is the latest.

    Why is there no update to this thread? Also, http://syncapp.bittorrent.com/1.1.82/ does not exist and there is nothing reported when trying to update from within the apps.

     

    Because this Thread isn't started from the Team.

    The update checker functionality is broken or not implemented (on click is just staticly says that this is the new version even if it's not)

    You can always grab the latest update on the main page in the download section
