Toucan didn't sync a file with little changesSubmitted by George Henry on February 7, 2010 - 10:48am
I am using Toucan 2.2.1 with Win XP ( categories: )

Any
changes should cause it to be flagged as it looks at the actual contents of the file itself, can you make some sort of minimal set of steps to reproduce this so I can try and fix it? Thanks in advance!

Simliar issue
I stopped using Toucan to sync a while back because of the same issue. I have a small excel (2007) spreadsheet which I update daily with a few numbers. I was backing the file daily and noticed that often it did not catch the change and flag the file as changed. The numbers are small and probably total only about 50 count. This happened when the spreadsheet was excel 2003 as well. It's a small file, but I use it daily and it is important to me to have synchronized on my USB drive.
I too have wondered what the minimum change would be to have Toucan miss the change.
Just so you know that he wasn't the only one who had that same issue. It is sure a neat program though and I like the features.

Thanks!
safe removal
Try USB device safe removal (rightclick the icon at the tray) before unplugging your usb drive.
Always do.
..that's not the problem. Its that Toucan does not see small differences in files, resulting in failure to sync.

confirmed
Confirmed,
I wanted to sync excel over network:
- if the file size was the same, but content different then sync failed, no matter of modified date!!!
- I used 2.1.2 version when I first encountered this error, than I updated to 2.2.1 version but error still present

Hello Steve, 1. I created a
Hello Steve,
1. I created a new Excel-File on my PC and synchronised it with my USB-Stick. So, the same file was on the PC and on the stick.
2. Now I changed the file on the PC (I deleted a line) and restored the file
3. I tried to synchronise the files. Toucan didn't detect the difference and didn't update the file on the stick.
I will send you two mails with the files to your email-adress. The mails also include screenshots of the properties of the files. I was astonished because of the older File (File 1).
On the screenshot of file 2 you will see the time of creation (23:04) and the time of change (23:08). Both is accurate. But on the screenshot of the older file (file 1) the time of creation is 23:07 (this cannot be) and the time of change is 23:04 (accurate).
I hope you will have good ideas for the problem.
Best Regards

You
need to run it through a ROT13 decoder, stops the address being spammed
