This is a list of changes made to Synchronize! Pro:
Version 3.3 September 18, 1995
• With this version, Synchronize! Pro is now "accelerated" (native) for the Power Mac! Synchronize! Pro is normally distributed as a FAT program, so that it will run on either the 68K or Power Macs.
• Added the ability to run Sync! Pro on directly on a file server, and copy user and group privileges to and from the server.
• Added more flexibility to syncing AppleShare privileges. For more information, use the Start Options menu to choose "Sync AppleShare privileges...".
• Fixed a bug which sometimes caused a "Group Index out of range" error.
• Start Options allows timed synchronizations to be started only on certain days.
• Deleted folders (as well as deleted files) are deleted in the corresponding folder, if "Sync deleted files" is enabled in the Options menu.
• A problem which sometimes caused "Start synchronization at startup" in Start Options to not work was fixed.
• AutoSync (it's now version 1.2.0) allows newly created syncs to be run at a preset time. The new version is installed when "Start Options" is chosen from the Options menu.
• The Completion Option "Open a file..." is always executed, even when there aren't any files to copy.
• Locked files are now copied without errors.
• Fixed an oversight in which checking a label for files to be copied didn't check the main box.
• When a folder is removed from a list of folders to be included or excluded, the user will be asked if the change should be saved.
Version 3.2.9 April 26, 1995
• The window showing files to be copied is now resizable.
• The completion sound is now played, even if there are no files to be copied.
• AutoSync (version 1.1) now ignores all sync documents which can't be found. It is installed when "Start Options" is chosen from the Options menu.
• Fixed a problem in which AppleScripts which told Synchronize! to sync several documents didn't necessarily open all documents. This was because Synchronize! was ignoring Apple Events in dialogs. It now sees them at all times.
• Fixed a problem in which the Completion Option "Open a file" information was lost if "OK" was chosen without explicitly choosing the file.
• Fixed a bug which caused items other than files or folders which were dragged from the Finder and dropped into a Synchronize! document window to crash Synchronize!.
• Fixed a bug which caused an internal error for backups or synchronizations of more than 4,000 files.
• Fixed a problem in which the wrong error message was given when memory was low.
• Fixed the problem where the rotating ball didn't go away when Synchronize! was put into the background, then brought to the foreground while scanning folders.
Version 3.2.8 March 2, 1995
• Fixed a bug which sometimes affected memory and memory allocation, particularly when the number of lines in the Log approached the limit set in Log Preferences.
• When using the Resolve Aliases option, aliases in the top-level folder only can be resolved, ignoring or copying the aliases without resolving them at lower folder levels.
• Added encryption of credit card information for registration by email, so that no one has unauthorized access to your credit card number.
• Added a feature to Completion Options which opens a file or alias (or an AppleScript which has been saved as an application) when a synchronization is complete. With this feature, synchronizations can be chained, or special functions can be launched when a synchronization is complete.
• Date and time is now presented in the format set in the "Date & Time" Control Panel.
• When "Log copied files" is checked in Log Preferences, deleted files and folders are also logged.
• The Application Menu is now available when an error has occurred, to allow switching to another application, such as the Finder, with the menu. Application switching was always available by clicking on another application's windows.
• Changed "Shut down when complete" so that the Finder is asked to shut down under System 7. This causes the Finder to properly quit all open applications in turn.
• Fixed a problem which caused the wrong files to be selected when using the "Resolve Aliases" and "AutoDoubler" options together.
• Fixed a problem which could sometimes cause an automatic synchronization to be missed.
Version 3.2.6 October 27, 1994
• Fixed "Don't copy files which end with" so that it works.
• Fixed a bug which sometimes caused a system crash after choosing "Save As..."
• Fixed a problem which caused a system crash when setting the Log to keep more than 8000 lines.
• Changed the Log so that when the limit on the number of lines is reached, no more than 10% of the existing lines will be removed at one time.
• Fixed a bug which caused an error in deleting a folder to keep retrying that operation forever, even though "Skip" was chosen in the Error Preferences.
