DirSync a RISC OS program to compare and synchronise directories

You can then select the files you want to synchronise between those two directories and/or change the synchronise-direction. And after that you can press the synchronise button.

Here you can change some general things about the synchronisation, in some simple cases enough that you do not need to change anything in the compare window, but just in this dialogue.

If you are satisfied with the choices, you can press 'Synchronise' and the synchronisation will start.

Some other features of DirSync:

• 32-bit compatible.
• Fully multitasking.
• Support for ImageFSes.
• Copes with files from other timezones.
• Copes with files that are/have been stored on filesystems that do not save the timestamp very accurate.
• Resizable, movable columns in the compare window.
• Supports interactive help.
• Supports StrongHelp.
• Keyboard navigation.
• Supports themes (with standard themes for RISC OS 3, 4 and 5).
• Supports plugins to extract information or process data from DirSync.
• Free (but you do need to send me a mail!).

Download version 1.09, 553KB. (New 16 Jan 2005!)

Download version 1.09 without DSDiff plugin, 188KB.

New in 1.09:

• Introduced a new diff-plugin, DSDiff, that allows very flexible configuration. It allows you to preprocess the files (to translate the file to text first) and then compare the resulting files. This means you can now compare BASIC, Templates, Resource, Sprite and image FS files with the default configuration. You can view them with Harriet's SideDiff or Druck's throwback viewers.
• Ctrl-dragging an application to DirSync now finds where the application is installed and starts a comparison with the installed application.
• Added '...' to synchronise button.
• Fixed a bug that made DirSync crash while synchronising.
• Fixed some redraw bugs.
• Fixed problem with showing of filetype icons for filetypes under &100.
