Interface Freeze during operations

Submitted by CmptrExpr on September 12, 2008 - 12:06pm

I've noticed that during file operations (scan, copy, move, etc.) the interface freezes. This is not a good thing. A few coding changes will make the interface much more responsive to the user.

When I looked through the source code, I found the code which causes the interface to freeze. This bit of code is found after starting the thread (multiple instances) in script.cpp:

Sync problems

Submitted by PollieXmas on September 12, 2008 - 10:53am

Hi Steve/anyone

I use Portable FreeCommander to keep my backup in sync with my portable drive but then saw that Toucan allows you to save jobs which FreeCommander does not, which should make "backups" much easier.

I have no rules, just simply asking Toucan to mirror (update) x:\Projects with y:\Projects with all "other" options selected.

When I previewed it it showed all my target folders as red which means it will be excluded even though I do not have any rules. Expanding the target shows all files as green. I was only expecting 1 or 2 files to need updating.

Some BUGs in 2.0.1

Submitted by Fabi on September 12, 2008 - 7:01am

Hi everyone,

first thanks for the great work and sorry for my bad English in advance.
I downloaded for about 3 Minutes the new Toucan Version and found some Bugs in it.

1) Under "Rules", when I add a new Profile and push the ADD-Button, there is written "File to include"... ?
2) When I change the language to German, the Height and Width resets after a new start of the App (only after the second restart after changing the language, until now it resets after every restart).

Problems with command-line

Submitted by alan-g on September 11, 2008 - 2:08am

Hello,

when starting Toucan in command line modus I get an error message, that is:

Can't load image from file 'addvar.png': file does not exist.

When I click 'OK', then Toucan does the sync job, but I think the error message is not wanted.

What can I do to solve this problem.

Thank you for helping.

I installed the portable toucan in my computer's hard drive. When i open toucan, a command prompt like windows opens but it closes after a second. Then the splash screen of toucan and Portableapss appear. I tried running toucan on my flash drive and it doesn't show up any of those black windows.

Encrypting firefox...

Submitted by Warhawk on September 1, 2008 - 3:55pm

I'm thinking of getting rid of U3 since the password is just getting excessive and it takes forever to load up the launchpad, plus it leaves behind info on host computers, which some people(including my dad) doesn't like too much.

So I just started using Toucan.
Only thing that is really 'valuable' to me is Firefox, since it has my password automatically loaded into gmail and other websites that have private info.

So this would be pretty much the only thing I would use Toucan for, but I didn't want to encrypt the whole folder, since that would take forever.

Error during encrypted backup of more directories

Submitted by szedme on August 28, 2008 - 4:51am

Hi,
I have tried to backup (in Toucan v.2.0) more directories into a zip (or 7z) archive format together with password. However the process failed when it started to backup the second directory in the list. Can you help me, please? Thank you.
Best regards,
Pavel
