SyncTime 5.2

  • Added a new option “Save Backup Checksums” for incremental backups that allows backups to be verified later (requires macOS 10.15 or newer).
  • Added a new option to run a custom AppleScript before a sync starts.
  • A sync group’s Execution Mode allows to choose whether the contained steps are run sequentially or concurrently.
  • The confirmation dialog now has a filter that can be toggled to show only files with a warning.
  • Improved the speed of file contents comparison when running “Find unequal files” and added more detailed progress information.
  • “Find unequal files” has been renamed to “Sync And Compare File Contents”.
  • When two files with different contents are found during “Sync And Compare File Contents” for a one-way sync, the files are added to the Overwrite list instead of logging an error. An error is still logged for two-way syncs.
  • When adding a sync schedule for a sync item, you can now choose which action to run: “Sync”, “Sync And Compare File Contents” or “Verify Backup” (if supported).
  • The scripts “Send email” and “Send Slack message” have been updated so that they can differentiate between the completed action (“Sync”, “Sync And Compare File Contents” or “Verify Backup”). If you need to differentiate between these actions, please reinstall the corresponding script.
  • The sidebar context menu (which allowed to rename and remove groups) has been integrated into the menu that can be opened by clicking the three-dots menu when viewing the sync group.
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the “Find unequal files” command to not start at all or start a sync for the wrong sync item.
  • Fixed an error that happened when trying to remove non-empty directories on some devices.
  • Fixed an error that happened when archiving locked files with the “Move old files to” backup strategy and the option “Temporarily unlock locked files before overwriting/removing them” was enabled.
