Synchrorep, a one click folders synchronization

[tesi999]

Hi. I'm new in Linux-Ubuntu and enjoying it so far. Synchrorep seems to be the program I need but .... when I right click on a folder and click on the sinchroniser option nothing happens. I think it should take me to an option to choose the folder to sync to but nothing appears. The same happens when I click on the create an icon in the desktop: the icon does not appear.
Am I missing something? Any suggestion?
Thanks.

Can you give me the version of synchrorep you have downloaded ?

Have you restarted your session before using it ?

If you have done that, can you open a terminal, and type :
synchrorep --config

This will show you the same window that when you use the application menu.

Check the box to activate the contextual menu and click on the button to create a desktop icon and close then window.

After that can you copy the content of the terminal and post it in the forum. This will give me the informations I need to fix an eventual bug.

Hi,
The version is 1.3.3 from iceberg.org.fr

I've installed it also in my laptop and restarted after the installation, (not quite sure if I did it in my desktop), and also restarted when I clicked to activate the contextual menu. It happens the same. Nothing occurs when I click on the synchroniser option.

In the terminal when I wrote "synchrorep --config" it opened the same window that in the application menu, clicked again to activate the contextual menu but nothing changes in the terminal.

Thanks.

Can you check the folder "/home/[user]/.nautilus/python-extensions" ?

Is there a file "synchrorep_contextual_menu.py" ?

[tesi999]

yes: 2 files with that name. Extensions .py and the other one .pyc

I don't understand...

The .py is the program of the contextual menu and the .pyc is generated by python-nautilus. That mean that nautilus have registered it (to be quick).

Have you clicked on folder icon. I mean that the menu don't appear when you click in a window itself.

[tesi999]

yes. Right click on the folder, click on the synchroniser option but nothing happens. What should the program do after that?

Why not try Grsync?

[sebkfr]

yes. Right click on the folder, click on the synchroniser option but nothing happens. What should the program do after that?

I understand, I thought the menu don't appear.

Can you type in a terminal :
synchrorep --execute [full path to your folder]

and report here the terminal result ?
