2 years ago by basiliscos to c/opensource

[feature] implemented complete files syncrhonisation [feature] added local files watcher and updates streamer [build] switched from git submodules to conan2 [win32] better platform support

I’m glad to announce v0.3.0 release!

The major feature of the new release is the implementation of complete file synchronization, i.e., the ability to send and receive files. To identify local changes, a periodical folder full scan is performed.

You can download ready-to-use binaries for Linux and Windows as well as the source code.

Syncspirit is a syncthing-compatible synchronization program that implements BEP-protocol. Syncspirit is a syncthing-compatible is written from the scratch software, which had different technical decisions on its foundation to overcome syncthing limitations. Syncspirit is available for Windows and Linux. Currently, Syncspirit is targeted at power users and early adopters who feel comfortable with command lines.

Any feedback is welcome!

WBR, basiliscos.

Besides the fact that Syncthing is an API and requires another thing to act as a front-end, what other limitations are there?

I think because of that they do not implement "selective sync" feature, i.e. when you need to sync only a slice of remote directory.

But… isn’t that more like a frontend decision than anything else? Syncthing already has ignore rules that can be used to ignore a few subfolders and keep the rest, that can be used to emulate a selective sync no?

Even that doesn't emulate selective sync... Well, I'd say it's a form of selective sync, just different than what I think OP is talking about.

In Resilio, I can ad-hoc select files/folders to sync now.

For example, if I setup a Resilio sync of my 2TB media folder, my phone will get an index of that share/sync job. I can then browse through the indexed folders, select files to sync, click OK and it will sync just those files right now.

Syncthing doesn't work this way.

I don't really use Resilio much, it's too ram heavy on my phone, so I only launch it for such selective sync tasks. Otherwise I let Syncthing handle my day-to-day data sync - it's much more battery and memory friendly for me. Just wish it had this kind of ad-hoc sync.
