Folks, If some of you are like me, mostly using a laptop under OS X, but having a better desktop computer and sometimes feeling like working on it for its speed and better screen, you might have faced the problem that arises when some key files are on your laptop: you have to copy those files to your desktop, use it and then copy them back to your laptop. I'm talking about the email files that every email reader uses, your web browser bookmarks and any other file that you might want to have on both your laptop and your desktop computer. The problem is when you start having a few of those, it gets difficult to manage. That's why I wrote a synchronization tool for OS X named "File Synchronization".
For those of you that were using the old File Synchronization control panel under OS 9, File Synchronization was based on that tool, but I added a few options to make it more usable than it was. For those that weren't, I tried to write an application that was really easy to use and quick to do the job. Features: automatic mounting of remote volumes; no document to open: all files and folders are accessible through the main window; multithreaded for smooth operation even when copying hundreds of megabytes; preview mode lets you see what will happen before the synchronization is performed; drag & drop from the Finder; Cocoa-based. If you want to give it a spin, you can download the application at: <http://nemesys.dyndns.org/Files/FileSynchronization1.0.1.dmg> or <http://members.verizon.net/~vze4jymq/Files/FileSynchronization1.0.dmg> or <http://members.cox.net/nemesys/Files/FileSynchronization1.0.dmg>. If you have any comment, you can send them privately to me at <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
