I am using the latest version of Toucan (v2.2.0), and I am having problems syncing my USB thumb drive to a folder on my hard drive. I want to Equalise the two, but when I click "Run", I get the prompt "Not all required fields are filled", and the progress goes from "Starting" to "Elapsed" to "Finished" in about 1 second, while nothing gets synced.
Preview shows which files are going to be copied/updated, but Toucan does not do this task when I click "Run".

I am running into the same problem after upgrading to v2.2.0. One thing I noticed was that, in the Jobs.ini file, "Equalise" is spelled incorrectly as "Eualise" (Function=Eualise). Fixing the spelling in Jobs.ini does not correct the problem in Toucan, however.
Upgraded yesterday to v2.2.0 and am seeing the issue using equalize. I assumed it was me doing something stupid and have not had a chance today to retry. Seeing this thread at least makes me feel better!!
same problem here... tried setting checkboxes, but it didn't help.
same here...
I get the "Not all of the required fields are filled" message.
I can click OK and it will complete, but only from Source to Destination. This is consistent for new files.
Updates do not flow in either direction. (Just tested)
Hope that helps,

everyone for the feedback and reports, I hope to get out a pre-release that fixes this issue in the next few days, hopefully tomorrow so a new release can be pushed out quickly!
I had the same problem, I found where the problem is (spelling mistake in jobs.ini) and I found a turn around solution :
edit the file jobs.ini in the folder Data
And correct "Eualise" to "Equalise"
It works fine for me like that.
Personnaly I have created an autorun script that is executed when the usb key is inserted : it automatically runs many jobs (with function=Equalise).
I do it for my customers, so they automatically sync importants folders when they insert the usb key : cool, no ?
Signature automatically removed for containing links
David, nice catch. Unfortunately, I did correct both instances of Eualise in the jobs.ini file but that did not fix the issue. Updated the file, exited and restarted Toucan and same problem. Also noted that the preview button didn't really show anything and I know there are files on my laptop that are newer than those stored on my usb. I'll keep poking and see what else I might find. Might try Equalize to see if that works.

Edited 5 minutes after the original post.
That didn't help either!! Not that I thought it would, but figured why not try!
How do i set something up to auto equalise when i insert a usb?

fixed version is available here.
Steve,
The fix works! Now I do have another question. When I do a preview, I get refreshes in both Source and Destination windows but never really see a list of files like in previous versions. Is this normal in the v2.x world? Up until last week I used v1.2.2 without any issues.
Thanks,
Mark
you saying that the preview is broken?
It appears that it is broken, but I did not want to say it was before asking if there was any change to the preview functionality present in v1.2.2.
If in v2.2.1 I shouldn't see a list of files to be acted upon with an option to execute then maybe it isn't broken. If the behavior should be similar to v1.2.2 then it is broken.
This has only been tested with the equalize function.
I'll take a look, thanks
Thanks for the quick turn-around.
