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.  (Version 3.6.4)

TERRY4  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.  (Version 3.6.1)

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.
