[780 32-bit public beta] Several bugs in function "Synchronize folders"
Posted: 20.09.2018, 12:35
Yesterday I upgraded from public version 770 to FreeCommander XE 2018 Build 780 32-bit public beta deutsch (via setup installed over the old version).
I found several bugs in the "Sync folders" function
(not sure how it is named because I am using the German version):
=========================================================
1)If I open the "Sync Folder" window, run a "Compare" and afterwards delete a file via right-mouse-click, the "Sync folders" window sometimes (not always) moves into the background (Freecommander main window comes to the foreground).
2) The "Sync folder" window is not refreshed after deleting one or several selected files via right-mouse-click. Thus you do not know whether anything happened and whether the selected files have been deleted or not. If you try again, then of course the message "System can not find the file specified" and then the display is updated. (German version: "System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden").
3) When I start a "Compare" (comparing the content of all folders and files) the program very often stops after comparing the very last file (Status bar says "Vergleichen <filename> 100%). So it looks like the comparison has been finished successfully but the "Sync folder" window is not updated/refreshed afterwards. Only the "Cancel" button is still enabled, which means I need to click on it, "Compare" again and hope that this time the "Compare" process is finished as it should be. Sometimes I have to do this several times until it works properly.
I understand that this version is named a BETA. But if this is the previous DONOR version, I would have expected that those bugs had been noticed by other users earlier. Or does this occur only on a few PCs, only after an update or only depending on the operating system?
I have Windows 7 64bit and Freecommander XE is always running as admin in order to gain access to system directories.
PS: Thanks anyway for this great tool !!! Has saved me a lot of work and time!
