- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I was really looking forward to trying SyncDifferent because it's much more user-friendly than SyncTwoFolders, which I've been using to backup to my external drive, and it allows you to save "favorites," which SyncTwoFolders does not. However, I can't get past what appears to be an initialization issue. I click the Sync button after selecting my two folders, and the app freezes for a good 60+ seconds before it starts working, and even then you can't click on the app's main window (bring it to the foreground) or any menus while it's running. It's too busy processing. It's also a CPU hog, eating up between 19% and 79% while running. Tried to sync twice, and both times the app got hung up on something minor (like a folder full of small jpegs less than 200k each). It stuck at 20.55% finished for a good 3 minutes, then (while I was writing this) suddenly it was done. I checked the log, and it showed there were errors, but didn't give enough information for a layman to investigate ("rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-24.1/rsync/main.c"). Also, SyncDifferent failed to copy the icons for any Alias, and for many, many folders and documents. Developer: Check out SyncTwoFolders and borrow some elements, like the live log and the icons indicating errors within. Make that log sortable by these errors so users can track and fix problems. Looking forward to 1.1 and beyond. If these issues are fixed, I'll happily use, recommend and donate.
