Can Toucan (sync part) detect RENAMES and MOVES of files ?IcePick - February 22, 2009 - 6:41am
Can Toucan detect renames and moves of files Almost all so-called "sync" programs don't !! But what I would need (and other users) is a smart detection of file moves and renames. Starting with two absolute equal directories (trees) I (a) rename a file Normal sync programs simply duplicate the "new" files to the opposite partner dirs. Is this possible with Toucan? Maybe in the next release? That feature would make Toucan really almost unique among the sync tools!! IcePick ( categories: )

I don't think the current
I don't think the current version does detect this. It would be a nice feature.
MD5 check
There's been talk of implementing an MD5 check to detect identical files with different names. That would fix that part of your question.

check is already in Toucan
I am hoping to improve the way sync works for 2.1. There may or may not be a release between the ccurrent relese and 2.1.
