Hi, it has caused me a lot of grief and time that unequal files are not being shown in backup mode. I think a lot of users may unwittingly do a backup procedure, thinking that files are equal now but they are not since unequal files are not copied if they are younger in source. I would suggest to ha...

Hi Igor, SI does not copy the actual soft links from target to source but goes on to copy the files of the referred link. It would be nice to have a copy option so that soft links are actually copied and not the underlying files. This will avoid endless loops also, in case there is a soft link on th...

Hi Igor,

when SI creates new top level folders on a target drive, the folders have todays date and not the date of the source.

And the Windows Explorer copy method used by SI is usually faster than proprietary copy method when synching between different drives on different cables. Proprietary methods only seem to have an advantage when copying to the same drive or drives on the same cable.

I think the find function in CompareIt is very well implemented. I also like the history dropdown and the find button next to it. I think you could model it after that, maybe even reuse some code.

Hi Igor, it would be very useful, if you could extend the "Find File" functionality to folders also, since there does not seem to be a way to search for folders in the SI! preview window. The grand way of doing it would be à la Thunderbird: Have a Find Box and when you type the letters the display c...

Hi Igor, the Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl 2-[Numeric Block] or Ctrl 8-[Numeric Block] which makes cursor jump to the next/previous folder in preview window works only when NumLock is OFF, so it should actually be the up and down keys on numblock unless you change it (which IMHO is probably best). But I al...

Thank you.

But it skips over problem files and does not get stuck on them like most oher programs using standard explorer api.

Hi Igor, today I am very curious. :) Therefore my next question: I want to synch an XP system partition with another drive: F.e. c: with f: (F: being the empty NTFS first partition on another drive, set as active primary). "Copy NTFS permissions" in options is checked. After the synch I plan to use ...

Hi Igor, :) could you tell us how SI handles corrupt files internally? Can we have more options/parameters on this, f.e. how many times SI tries to read a corrupt file and to f.e. skip the file immediately if there is a problem and not trying to copy and then when we synch again on the problem files...

Hi Igor, If f.e. one wants to synch drive e: with drive h: (which is empty) and drive e: has a folder named trial and many subfolders but no file in the folder "trial" itself (only in the subfolders), then trial folder by itself does not show in the preview window and it is not possible to disable s...

I forgot to say that the tooltip does not show the full path name, that is the problem.

Can you reproduce the bug of no tooltip?

Kind regards,

Brahman

Recuva at recuva.com is also great. But do not write to the drive where you deleted the file and leave your computer running or put it in standby (NOT hibernate), in case it is the system drive so windows will not write too much on the drive.

Here is a screenshot:

The path name stops at letter\ and does not show the rest. Seems to be the case only when the green arrow with 10 is there, otherwise it is showing.



Kind regards,

Yes, that's probably even better. How will you add it? I was thinking a global option would be best, since in the middle of a big project - when you need this feature - you don't want to fiddle and go back to individual jobs to switch it on. It would also be nice to be able to switch it on from by r...
