SyncTime 5.0.1
-
SyncTime 5.0
- Unordered sync groups and dependencies between sync items have been replaced by a new and more intuitive type of sync groups. You can add new groups and easily add and reorder sync items.
- The Filters tab has been streamlined: filtered expressions and filtered files are now merged in a single hierarchical structure that is easier to understand and more flexible.
- The Schedule option has been moved from the sync settings to a dedicated Sync Schedule window which allows to manage schedules for all sync items and groups. It can be opened from the main window toolbar or the Window menu.
- The One-time Trigger menu item has been converted to a sync schedule named “At a given date” which can also be found in the Sync Schedule window.
- Shortcuts app support has been improved. Because of this change, any existing shortcuts don’t work anymore.
- Added file modifiers cannot be temporarily deactivated anymore. Inactive file modifiers are removed automatically when launching this app version.
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused sync items with the Automatic sync schedule to run without apparent reason.
- Fixed an issue that caused a sync error when linking a locked file during a sync with the backup strategy “Incremental, link unchanged files”.
- Added a built-in AppleScript to quit SyncTime when a sync or all syncs complete.
- Past logs for sync items created before July 2022 don’t show the sync item title anymore, but their ID instead. In the Activity log window they won’t be listed when selecting the sync item title from the toolbar anymore, but when selecting their ID instead. Logs generated starting from this app version will appear correctly.

SyncTime 4.12.3
- Fixed a crash that happened when syncing to a volume that reports its available capacity to be the highest number the Mac can represent.
- Fixed an issue that caused errors when running a sync with a rename file modifier in background.
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused a custom backup timeframe to appear as “Keep all backups”.
- Fixed an issue that caused the source path of a moved file to be hidden in the confirmation dialog.
-
SyncTime 4.12.2
- Fixed an issue that caused an error when selecting the backup folders for the “Move old files to…” backup strategy.
-
SyncTime 4.12.1
- A sync immediately terminates with an error if the settings are incompatible with the selected bases, e.g. if “Track moved files” is enabled but the source base doesn’t support persistent file identifiers, which previously caused unexpected results.
- Fixed an issue that caused the copied file size not to be shown during a sync.
-
SyncTime 4.12
- Added a new overwrite policy “Overwrite if modification date is different”.
- Added a new tab to the confirmation dialog that lists removed, overwritten and added files in a single list (requires macOS 13 or newer).
- Automatic volume connection can now be controlled independently for each sync item base.
- Error logs signalling file conflicts are now easier to understand thanks to the inclusion of the modification date and size of the scanned file and of the snapshot (if it exists).
- Fixed an issue on macOS 13 and older that could cause the main menu to be unresponsive after launch.
- Fixed a startup crash on macOS 10.14.
-
SyncTime 4.11.1
- Fixed an issue that caused the “Skip confirmation dialog” setting to be disabled after running the latest update. (If the option was enabled and you already ran the previous update, you have to enable it again manually.)
-
SyncTime 4.11
- Added 7 new languages: Arabic, Dutch, Hindi, Korean, Polish, Swedish and Turkish.
- Added a new backup timeframe option to gradually remove old backups: Decimate old files, which keeps all backups for the last 24 hours, one backup for each day for the last 5 weeks, and one backup for each week before.
- Incremental backups can now be browsed through a new interface that allows jumping back and forth between backup dates inside the selected directory. It can be opened via the “Browse Backups” item in the File or contextual menu.
- Added new filters for matching hidden and locked files and aliases (symbolic links). The hidden files filter replaces the option “Exclude hidden files”.
- Added a file modifier for removing extended file attributes.
- Removed backups are now logged as well.
- The “Once all syncs are completed” option can now be set via AppleScript.
- There is no more a separate option to hide the confirmation dialog for moved/renamed files. The other option “Skip confirmation dialog” is now applied to moved files as well.
- Fixed an issue that caused errors that were automatically removed after they reached the maximum log age to remain unresolved.
