Toucan

Can Toucan detect renames and moves of files

Almost all so-called "sync" programs don't !!
They stupidly compare source and destination directory and copy necessary files.

But what I would need (and other users) is a smart detection of file moves and renames.
Imagine the following situation:

Starting with two absolute equal directories (trees) I rename a file
or (b) move a file into a sub-directory.

Normal sync programs simply duplicate the "new" files to the opposite partner dirs.
As a result I have on each site now 2 (!) files (=4 files in total).

When running a Toucan script via the command line, I'm seeing the splash screen appear. After the script has done its work the splash screen doesn't go away. I have to kill the splash window to get Toucan to exit.

I'm running version 2.0.6. Also, I'm running the Toucan command line from a batch file. Version 2.0.4 had no problems in running this case.

Hello,
Is it possible to add multiple source directories (not subfolders) to a job. I do IT work and so I like to keep an updated thumb drive loaded with tools and utilities from my computer. I keep them organized into different places on my computer but would like an easy way to sync (and update) them onto my thumb drive in one easy step. If this is not currently supported, are there any future plans to add it?

Thanks!
Danny

Hi,
this is just for Info (sorry for my bad english):

After extracting i tryed to start Toucan but it crashes with the message, that windows found a problem and had to close Toucan.exe.

Hello all, great site and software.

I tried out Toucan recently, and it doesn't appear to work for me.

I used the "copy" mode, to copy files from the source folder to the target folder.

The preview shows the existing files in the target folder as red, and the new files in the target folder as blue. I expect that when I copy, it would only copy the blue files over.

However, when I run the copy process, it appears to indiscriminently copy all files over, whether they already exist in the target folder or not. This would seem to be not what the copy function is supposed to do.

Good application overall; a small suggestion:

The file coloring you use to indicate in the PREVIEW what will happen should be revised to be more "international", i.e. like traffic lights:

Green: New file or folder to be added
Yellow: Existing file of folder to be updated
Red: File or folder to be removed
Black: No change being applied

Hi Forum,

i configure my Toucan to make a backup of KeePass´s database file.
(KeePass is not started while i try to make a backup of it´s database file).

I think the problem is that Toucan thinks that the file "Database.kdb" is a folder.
Error

Error: Can not enumerate files in directory 'S:\PortableApps\KeePassPortable\Database.kdb\' (error 267: der Verzeichnisname ist ungültig.)


Translated to english: "(error 267: the folder name is invalid.)"

It would be great if someone can help me.

I searched desperately but couldn't find it:
Is it possible to move all files from the source directory to the destination directory but keep the (now empty) folders+subfolders.
I have a download directory with lots of subdirectories that has to be emptied sometimes and I'd like to keep a backup on some usb device.
Thanks

Program: Toucan 2.0.4

Issue: Backup "Compression Level" is not respected when Format is 7-Zip.

All "Compression Level" above None yield the same compression result. The same set of files compressed with 7-Zip Portable using "Compression Level" with any settings above (not including) Fastest yield far better results.

"Compression Level" works just fine when Format is Zip.

Does the released version of Toucan 2.04 use the Microsoft Shadow Copy Service to allow for backup of open files?
