GIOMAN  I have been fairly happy with FS for a long time. Today I went to their site and noticed that the current edition is 3.6.3 and I had DL 3.6.4 from here. I also noticed that one of the features mentioned in 3.6.3 is not in the program. Someone here mentioned they had written the developer and never got a reply so I don't have much hope of getting my questions answered it seems. Too bad, still a pretty decent program.

BACKPACKER  v3.6.4 doesn't show up in the developer's site anymore, and they've not notified anyone, even when I emailed Softobe to ask why.  
(Version 3.6.4)

BACKPACKER  About the full-featured FS Preview window:

Can that window be entitled with the task-in-process (ie Exact Synch, Incremental Synch, Exact BackUp etc.) to dispel any doubts about what is being previewed ?

Might it even be possible to change tasks from within the Preview window, just by changing the window-title ?

Thanks for the ongoing work on FolderSynchronizer.

FREEDMAN  I have been using this software from its early Mac OS 9 days and have never had a problem with it. I use it to sync my desktop to my laptop. I suspect that many of the probems reported by other users having less success with thios program is related to other causes, such as not properly maintaining the system software. I would like to see a more elegant user interface for the settings, but otherwise thsi is a first rate product.

HOPETINDALL  I purchased FS in summer 2005.

Unfortunately - I haven't been able to run it since - as it damages the permissions on my SOURCE disk every time I run it.

There seems to be some problem with the software's handling of symlinks.

In the interim - I've been using the much less functional 'Deja Vu' - as this doesn't do damage to my disk like Folders Synchronizer.

The author was initially responsive to my emails - despite an early offer of refund (which i turned down hoping the problem would be fixed) - he now doesn't seem to want to give me a refund and hasn't seemed to have addressed the problem either.

I really hope he fixes this software so I can use it again. When it works - it's great. But I don't want something messing up my disk.

HAROLD ROETH,  I just noticed that there has not been any recent comment on this fine program. I use it with OS 10.4.5 to regularly back-up certain important files. I also use the timer option with FS running in the background to backup important publications I am working on every 5 minutes, LotÕs of uses for this program as their web site indicates. Never any problems. (v3.5)

ANONYMOUS  Thank you, nice updates in 3.5.  
(Version 3.5)

WELSHBALONEY  This looked quite promising. It worked nicely for me a few times, but then it crashed and would no longer launch without crashing each time. I desintalled, reinstalled, reset my preferences and it crashed again. Not sure why, but I think it was something to do with auto-mounting the remote volume.

Shame. I'll wait for the next update.  
(Version 3.4.9)

ANONYMOUS  I have found that this program damages my file permissions during synchronization. I find that this program is dangerous for large filesets.  
(Version 3.4.8)

TECH  I just got done buying a site license for this. I have to day I evaluated this software for 30 days or so (I initially bought 1 full license). I tried to find a comparable free software, needless to say I couldn't find one with all the features this has.

I emailed them saying I need to be able to run a few in OS 9. Within a half hour they told me they would give me serial numbers for OS 9 also if I would just email them. So I bought the software, and they saw my order and just sent the OS 9 serials along with the OS X serials. GREAT customer support.
