Toucan

Hi all, I was using command line sync in 2.0.1 without any problems but in 2.0.2 and 2.0.2PR4 it's no longer completing the job. It copies one file and then dies. The intent of the job is to maintain a copy of my flash drive in the 'C:\Removable Disk' folder.

The command I'm running is:
cd PortableApps\Toucan\App\toucan
Toucan.exe "updatejob"

And the contents of the job.ini file is:
[General]
Version=202
[updatejob]
Source=@drive@\\
Dest=C:\\Removable Disk
Function=Mirror (Copy)
TimeStamps=0
Attributes=0
IgnoreReadOnly=0
IgnoreDaylightSavings=0
Rules=
Type=Sync

I've been thinking about the Toucan interface and I think the icons in the tabs are too big. They're 64x64, larger than the icons in any app I've ever seen, and wind up overpowering the interface. I tried it with 32x32 icons and it looks much better in my opinion:

I want to be able to select several files for backup but Toucan doesn't allow the native CTRL-CLICK or SHIFT-CLICK to select multiple files? Am I missing something or is this a bug in the program?

I've just upgraded to 2.0.2, and noticed toucan when run in a command line now throws up errors if the drive it's being run from is write protected. It's only trying to write to a few ini files, so everything still works, but the message boxes are kind of a deal breaker. Is there any plan to fix this behavior in future versions?

Hi!

I really love the idea of Toucan. It's simple easy to use, gives access to saved/copied files even if the backup program is not at hand that's what I was looking for!
I've run a few tests and have to say, for now, I'll stick with DriveImage XML (tough it does not give the easy file access).

Hi

I am running toucan portable 2.0.1 and it is to slow!
I am trying to backup to a Gigabit NAS - about 44.000 files in 6.000 folders need to be checked for there date: Even the ckecking takes about 3 hours!
Maybe you should create a database where the dates (timestamp) of the files in the backup directory is stored and compare this to the date (timestamp) of the files from the source.

Your prog is amazing, however, I've encountered a few issues,
1) Folder or filename that include "@" is not support
2) I used *ride*.mp3 for in Files to exclude rule for filenames like - "01 ride with me part1.mp3", it will generate "Regex error" box with infinite loop, I had to terminate the program through taskmgr.
3) If I used ride*.mp3 for "01 ride with me part2.mp3", it doesn't exclude the file.

I have to put only "ride" in Files to exclude rule in order to exclude the files.

Thank you for your hard work!

Is there a way to start a sync job automatially when u start app. Trying to cut down on key strokes. Users are elementary kids.. They will be syncing up homework info to there school thumb drives..

OK, so I know this topic has been discussed a little bit on this forum already, and I've read all those threads already and have done what I'm supposed to do, but I'm still having troubles.

I'm trying to make a .bat file that runs a Backup, via a Script, in Toucan. Easy enough. My .bat file looks like this:

X:\...\Toucan\App\toucan\toucan.exe Script "ScriptName"
