Problems with 3.0.1

My experience is similar to richardjf's. Since I deleted the t2 installation and installed t3 from scratch I had no old jobs. I defined a new sync job, mirroring C:\Mystuff to E:\Mystuff. I tried previewing and the program crashed - a nastygram announcing that "Toucan needs to close etc etc Do I want to report the problem to Microsoft? (N0)"

I ran the program again and when I tried to open the previously defined sync job it crashed again. I have had the same experience with and XP machine as well as a Windows 7 machine.

This application is driving me crazy... It has always had one or two bugs that prevent me from using it with every single release for over a year now...

The latest show stopper is the preview function is not working in v3.0.1

Thank you for your efforts, but my word...

am looking into all of the issues mentioned on this page and will try and get another release out this week or next. My main aim for this next series of releases is to become as stable as possible. Lots of new things were added or changed in 3.0 and ensuring that everything works for everyone all of the time is definitely the number one priority right now.

I have no idea if this information will be of any use at all to the debugging but here goes...

I installed Toucan 3.0.1 over 2.2. When trying to load my saved Sync profiles it came up with an error "cant find recycler(???)" I cant really remember exactly what it said and I just deleted the saved profiles and did them again. So probably just ignore that...

Anyway I ran a full Sync Copy with none of the check boxes checked and that worked fine - it copied all the files across. This is to sync an entire HDD partition to a USB stick, on Windows 7.

This morning I tried running a Sync Mirror with "Short Comparison" checked and after a few moments Toucan crashed. It seemed to crash just before it started running down the list of files to be copied. Windows gave the following error:

If that means anything to anyone...

This crash happens every time at exactly the same point.

Conversely, Sync Mirror with no boxes checked syncs fine. However Sync Mirror with no check boxes seems to do exactly the same thing as Sync Copy, namely it just copies all the files in the directory across again - but perhaps this is what its supposed to do.

Sync Mirror with "File Size" checked worked successfully. As did Sync Mirror "modified time". More interestingly Sync Mirror "full comparison" works just fine too!

So in short "Short Comparison" causes toucan to crash. On my machine. For some reason. Happy to give more details as required.

Hope some of that helps...

I've had the same issues and it's really bugging me. So I rolled back to 2.2.1 which worked fine for me. If anyone wants to do the same I'm posting the link to it
Toucan 2.2.1

this all fixed in the new pre-release?
