Toucan

I'm trying to use Toucan to backup some files automatically at work, and I'm getting some curious results.

Instead of backing up the source folder, it creates a backup of the target folder withing the target folder, and hangs in the process.

I did search the forums, and as a result of that search I am using the latest beta (PR4). I thought that the command line issues were resolved in this beta. Is that something that's still being worked on, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, as always,

I am having an issue with the mirroring function in version 1.1.2. I created two folders on my desktop and added one file to the source folder and two files to the destination folder. When I run sync with mirror it will NOT delete the second file in the destination folder.

Hi all

Is it possible to use the portable variable feature to define source/destination paths as a drive name (the name that can be defined in windows) e.g. using "my_drive_system" instead of "C:"

thanks

Is there any way to disable the splash screen. Normally with the portable apps on this site you just have to edit an .ini file, but I couldn't find any file or any way to disable the splash screen.

I'm trying to work out the paths to some popular apps.
I was hoping to find this in the readme; as syncing might be one of the primary uses of this application.

If someone knows it by hand, please do post it. I will do my best to find them out myself to.
I'm looking for
pidgin
firefox
thunderbird
and others

Here is the scenario, I downloaded Toucan today:

I had a folder on my Portable Drive that I wanted to Sync (mirror) with the folder on my PC.

The primary working folder in the future was going to be the one on my computer, but currently all the data was on the drive. So, in the SYNC TAB, I set the

Source: MyPC\Work (currently empty)
Destination: PortableDrive\Work

I then clicked MIRROR and PREVIEW, and GO.

I would have said this on GTalk, but you weren't on.

If I exclude ".svn", it will only exclude 1 file within the folder but not the other two. No idea why this happens though.

Hello,

how does Toucan work with files when summer/winter time changes? I mean - windows change file time attributes, so such files look different due time but are the same.

How about to ignore 1 hour time differences, maybe when other attributes, e.g. file size, stay unchanged?

So at the moment I am hard at work on 2.0 (as well as getting 1.2 out of the door) and I was wondering, does anyone actually use portable variables? If so how would you like them to change, either in implementation or how the user interface is designed?

I have just started to use the Toucan Sync function.

I am using an "update" from my USB to my "MyDocs"

I had assumed that this was working OK however, I just tried to run OO from "MyDocs" (the USB versions works OK).
