Features
Synkron is an application for folder synchronisation that allows you to configure your synchronisations in detail. Despite having many features, the user interface of Synkron is very user-friendly and easy to use.
Synkron is able to synchronise multiple folders at once, analyse folders before sync, restore overwritten or deleted files, plan synchronisations and much more.
PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format
Synkron Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Thanks Zach
Thanks to Zach Huddock for his initial anaylsis and coding of this app. It has since been updated to the latest PA.c Launcher and latest version.
Thanks for posting this and
Thanks for posting this and Ant Renamer. There's only 1 d in my last name tho ;).
I hate to ask, but...
Can someone make a comparison to Toucan?
Two noticeable differences are:
Anything else?
nice app
strange thing, but this gets habit today, it tries to set an exeption to the firewall, but well, this is common today
otherwise the syncing is simple, rather selfexplaining, did work 'out of the box' for me, thought I did not read any manaual etc.
I think, for normal user this is much simple to handle then toucan. It seems to check all files for date-time, but average user needs not more probably.
I just synched my two 16gb sticks with it.
Sticking with Toucan
My biggest issue with Synkron is it seems that the file processing is done in the same thread as the UI. If your backup/sync contains a large file the UI will lock up until that file is processed. Same when it creates it's database. Smaller files are not as annoying.
My biggest issue with Toucan is using network file locations. But those are easily worked around with Windows 7 and symbolic links pointing to network locations. Just don't add a symbolic link to your destination in your source; very long loop of recursion
So if you plan to run you syncs overnight or away from your machine, Synkron might be the best for you.
Yeah, John T. strikes again.

Another one of my most used dev test favs.
For my simple tasks (keeping several file bases, truecrypt containers etc. up to date => one source, several targets) its much more practical than toucan. It's of little use for serious backup tasks though.
Thanks for making that offical.
Good now I keep all my files
Good now I keep all my files up to date with program witch is more easier to update all my files in different computers.
