#OUYA DROPSYNC UPDATE#

The default method of matching files is a combination of modification time and size, which is both accurate and fast. This section provides various options for changing the circumstances under which files will be skipped.

#OUYA DROPSYNC UPDATE#

When DropSync performs an update it tries to avoid copying anything that already exists at the destination. Because symbolic links can refer to any file path they might sometimes point outside the syncing root, you can choose not to copy links of this type. DropSync lets you choose whether to copy these as they are ( treat links as links) or to transform them into the file or directory that they point to ( transform links into referent file or dir). Symbolic links are a special type of file that simply points to another file or directory. Extended attributes synced using rsync 2.6.9 are stored alongside the original file in a hidden companion file whereas extended attributes synced using rsync 3.10.x are attached to the file using the filesystem's native extended attribute mechanism. In most cases the default is best, however in rare circumstances (e.g., when extended attribute data is very large, or when syncing to a filesystem that does not support extended attributes) you should choose the 2.6.9 version of rsync. Syncing extended attributes differs substantially depending on the version of rsync chosen in the general options pane. Beware that DropSync cannot monitor changes on the right for ssh folder pairs so in that case changes that occur on the right will be missed. Instead of scanning through files to find changes DropSync will keep track of changed files as they change, and only include those in the sync.

Use this option if you are performing a one-way sync and want super-fast performance. Performance - Only scan changed directories.Use this section if you need to enforce syncing in one direction only. Syncs are normally allowed for both left and right directions. More detail about how deletions work is available here. Turn deletions on and off for syncs in specific directions. The general options pane provides control over when DropSync issues notifications. For most situations the default (3.10.x) rsync is best.ĭropSync displays notifications using Notification Centre. Two different versions of rsync are provided, one based on the 3.10.x branch and another based on rsync 2.6.9 that has some OSX specific features enabled. Under the hood DropSync uses a tool called rsync to perform the actual syncing.
