RealtimeSync

@@ -30,55 +30,120 @@ primary function is to trigger synchronization immediately after files in a source directory have changed. However its implementation is much more flexible to cover an even broader range of use: A list of directories provided by the user is monitored for changes. -Whenever a file or a subdirectory is modified, RealtimeSync responds -by executing the user-specified commandline.

+Whenever a file within these directories or subdirectories is +modified OR the directory becomes available (e.g. insert of a +USB-stick), RealtimeSync responds by executing the user-specified +command line.

Example: +(Smart synchronization when USB +sticks are inserted into your PC - in combination with FreeFileSync)
+
Assume +you have multiple(!) USB sticks that contain data you want to +automatically synchronize in two-way mode whenever you insert one of +the sticks into the PC. In order to be on the safe side, you decide +to setup FreeFileSync batch jobs (*.ffs_batch) +using <Automatic> +mode so that conflicts, for example +files modified on both sides, are detected avoiding data loss. Save +the relevant configuration on each USB stick's root directory to have +it called when the stick is mounted. Then configure RealtimeSync +analog to the following:
+
+
+
+

+
+
Whenever +directory "H:\Data" +becomes available, the command-line executes and starts the batchjob +whose configuration is located on the stick. Furthermore it also +starts the batch job each time files are modified within "H:\Data". + +
+

+
+
For +additional convenience it might be nice if the batch job remains +silent if synchronization completes successfully, otherwise shows +FreeFileSync's GUI dialog when errors occurred. Therefore create two +configurations, one silent-mode batch to be called by default and one +*.ffs_gui to be called +when former fails. Then replace the command-line to simply execute a +batch file similar to this one:

- C:\Program - Files\FreeFileSync\RealtimeSync.exe C:\MyConfig.ffs_real
C:\Program - Files\FreeFileSync\RealtimeSync.exe C:\SyncJob.ffs_batch
+ ::first + check whether USB-stick contains a sync-configuration at all
@if + exist "H:\Silent_Config.ffs_batch" (
::configuration + found, now execute the synchronization batch job
"C:\Program + Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" + "H:\Silent_Config.ffs_batch"
@if not errorlevel 0 + (
::if + something went wrong, start FreeFileSync in GUI + mode
"C:\Program + Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" + "H:\GUI_Config.ffs_gui"
)
)
