Toucan

Setup: Toucan Version 2.07 installed on C: drive, trying to sync a directory from C: to a USB external hard drive K:

In Sync, for Copy and Mirror (Copy) it shows preview correctly. For Update or Mirror (Update) it immediately put up an error box that says:

An unhandled exception occured. Press "Abort" to terminate the program, "Retry" to exit the program normally and "Ignore" to try to continue.

Abort and Retry immediately close Toucan, Ignore stays in Toucan but the right hand window loses the ability to open subdirectories to show files.

I have an an encrypted file with 2.0.6.

After updating to 2.0.7 i got message "de-encryption failed".

How to open this file?
Downgrading to 2.0.6 would solve the problem?

I have XP Home as OS and no restrictions on the computer.

I have added folders not to include on the rules page. And it seems to take no notice.

On the rules screen, it would be good if you could browse to the files and folders to select them rather than having to type them in.

I must be getting forgetful, but I have to keep going back to the help to determine the meanings of the colors for Sync.

I thought it might be a real help to put a small box under the "OK" and "Preview" buttons that would look something like this:

Black = Ignored
Red = Not Copied
Grey = Deleted
Blue = File/Folder Added
Green = File Overwritten

or make them in color...

- it shows splash screen running in commandline mode
(splash. jpg can be removed or deleted)
- after executing the backup job it writes
"everything is ok" and hangs(and uses 50% cpu, 7-zip is
not running anymore).
- the exclude list in the backup job is not used

switched back to 2.0.4

looking forward to 2.0.7
i like it

I've been running Toucan for some time from a batch file (AutoHotKey) with no problems. After updating to the current version instead of the process finishing and the command window closing, the program stops with the portableapps flash screen displayed. Manually closing the command window closes the process and everything is fine. I'm running on Vista.

tested version: 2.0.6

steps to reproduce:

- with english language setting (default) create amd save the job to make differential backups in toucan's GUI
- exit Toucan, start it again and change language to Czech
- exit Toucan, do some changes in the files to be backed up and run your Toucan job from commandline
- no changes are detected, no backup is created

identified reason:
in Jobs.ini file the Function value is supposed to be in currently set locale (!), thus Function=Differential no more works (but Function=Diferenciální does). i think this needs to be fixed.

regards,

I recently upgraded from Toucan 2.0.4 to Toucan 2.0.6 and now the Modal Progress Screen Hangs during / after the backup. The progress screen pops up and the Compressed file is created, but the OK or Save buttons never enable and the Cancel Buttons doesn't seem to do anything. I end up having to kill the Job using Task Manager.

I am using Microsoft Windows XP Professional N Version 2002 Service Pack 3 on a Quad Core 2.66GHz CPU with 3.25 GB of RAM.

My Backup Job is configured as follows :
Type : Complete
Format : 7-Zip
Compression : Maximum (All the way to the right)

Windows XP Proffesional Czech with SP3 and with all Microsoft patches - tested on real instalation with NOD32 and Spyware Terminator and Virtual PC instalation without any ativirus and antispyware software too.
