    Synchrorep - A one click folders synchronization

    I've just released version 1.5.5 of my synchronization app.

    If you are interested you can find debian package here.

    Find more informations here.

    For developers, you can find source code on gihub.

    Have fun !

    Is there a PPA
    or
    a snap?

    Nice and simple, I like it.

    I use rsync to backup my Home directory to a second drive. Could this do the same thing? Sounds like it can.

    You can do like rsync (use copy option) but if you use sync, it's a bidirectionnal copy (files missing in A are copied to A and files missing in B are copied to B)

    s/mont/mount/ there is a typo on the "Overview" section of the website.

    Are directories mirrored recursively?
    Any known file system limitations?
    How are incompatible filenames handled? exFAT, NTFS, ext2/3/4, ZFS, BTRFS each have slight differences.
    Any known file size limitation? Someone will try to sync a 60GB virtual machine file.
    What happens if the VM file is a "sparse" file? Will it get exploded or is it handled correctly? tar and rsync have special processing for sparse files. I haven't written any C++ in about 18 yrs and never knew if anything special in the code was needed. https://www.systutorials.com/136652/...iles-on-linux/ and https://www.systutorials.com/240892/...e-sparse-file/ explains.

    What is ssh network share? Do you mean sftp, scp, sshfs or something else? I wouldn't include plain FTP support. Preventing people from making poor security choices is important.

    What happens if no Trash API is on the system? Files just deleted? Lots of people run minimal GUI systems.

    Perhaps it is clear after install, but is this a GUI tool or can it work on servers? I don't allow javascript on most websites.

    I use gnome library for managing files, then limitations are gnome limitations

    As I use gnome library to copy, the copy process don't come from my code. I've already use synchrorep with vdi and no problem with it.

    I mean that I've not be clear with ssh network share. In fact I mean sftp mounted in gnome. (After the first run, it mount automatically).

    If the remote is not handle filesystem, the file is copied on local Trash

    This is a GUI tool. For next step of development, I will implement batch mode (especially to manage scheduled tasks) but you still need GUI to see logs and answer questions (in case for example of a file modified in both directory). This app is designed for desktop environments.

    I've never developed anything on ubuntu, so out of interest: what made you decide to use C++? Familiarity with the language? Good GUI support? Sorry if it's a silly question, I code web stuff mainly.
