A simple and open source data synchronizer
because of several bugfixes i took the release files offline for now.
As far as i know the svn should be alright but there is no guarantee.
after more testing i’m thinking on putting it back new binary releases online (yes i’m using it on my data and i had no loss only too much copying so far, but i dind’t use fast sync dialog which was really broken!!!)
!!!!!!so please update to latest svn and compile it yourself or at least don’t use the fast sync dialog!!!!
This new version holds a lot of linux bugfixes and improvements.
For example a makefile with install and uninstall target and an NSIS installer for Windows.
and some handy context menus at the Tray icon and in the sync list.
There are still some small improvements todo that is the reason for the revision tag and as soon as they are fixed you can check for a release without a revision notice.
hope to write you soon

IF YOU SEE ANY BUG PLEEASE MESSAGE ME OVER THE www.boscowitch.de/k.php CONTACT FORM
(I know its german but pretty simple Betreff = Subject, Naricht = Message and Mail senden is too easy just swap the words 
after a long time without internet i’m finally back and connected…
I have uploaded a version wich should have fixed all the linux issues and have a new context menue and a working tray menu.
I also worked on a simple isntaller for windows, and i hope to soon pack it all nice together topresent a newfinal Release Version.
see you soon BoscoWitch
The newest SVN revision is finally working correct in Linux.
The performance is now like the windows version thanks to the logging bugfix.
And Symlinks are recongnized.
After some more tests and cleanups i will soon release a new Binary release, till then please compile it for yourself.
EDIT 2: I have fixed the bug in recent SVN HEAD so if you are able to compile a simple makefile projekt with wxwidgets you can get a completly fixed version who is able to copy symlinks instead of following them and to recognize symlinks in the compare folders dialog
I will fix the not working Sync Menu at the Trayicon, as soon as it is functional (or maby left out ) I can make a new release, so stay tuned.
I think I also found the source for the slower runtime in Linux, recently there are a lot of strange errors in the log to almost every file. I hope to fix that soon too and i think the runtime will then be maby even faster on Linux than on Windows thanks to the Caching features of the Linux Kernel.
As I’m working more and more (almost only) with Linux now (its just so nice for developers
I had to nootice a BIG BUG crawling inside the Linux Version of wxSimpleSync and wxWidgets.
The copy function can’t handle Files and Folders wich are (soft) linked.
Files wich are linked just are left out. BUT IF A FOLDER IS LINKED wxSS WILL FOLLOW THE LINK and copy all files from the target location location.
with this behaviour a invinite loop can be created which will fill the targed drive completely.
For example if you let wxSS copy your home folder /home/yourname to /backupdevice/yourname and have wine installed it will copy all your files more than one time because wine creates a hidden folder in your home dir with symlinks on your files and desktop in .wine/windows/profiles/yourname/Desktop
and …/yourname/My Documents ect.
this is of course very BAD so I’m going to fix this, but it will take some time adding Linux specific code so please bear with it atm and try to filter all your directorys with dangerouse links (like i did atm with “.wine”).
Also i want to try to improve the speed if possibel because my homedir has a lot of files ^^ and i noticed that wxSS takes a lonk time, maby some more Linux Specific functions will speed the whole process up ;).
Just recently i noticed (suprisingly) a crash when the syncing is started under Linux.
As I found out now it was just one stupid quick add of a logging line.
As far as I know the windows version is not affected, but as i noticed some strange behaviour somethimes i working to release a new RC soon.
Get the fixed Linux version from the download site.
Here is another release candidate.
So far RC1 worked good for me, but i was missing a way to quick sync 2 directorys only one time without adding a permanent entry (for example with an extern hdd of a friend).
For simmilar occasions there is now a “Fast Sync Dialog” which can be shown toghether with the main dialog and supports drag and droping of folders and has 3 buttons for the sync directions and 2 options.
here is a picture:
As you can see this is started in a german windows version so far there is only a german language file and the native english for all other languages (automatically seleted at startup).
I hope that in the future some people will make their own language version, to do so the german language po and mo files are included in resources/language/de so everybody can make another language with poEdit a simple cross platform language file editor.
If you made another language file please feel free to send it to me!!!
Hi everyone,
after a long time I finally compiled a first Release Candidate version of wxSS.
At the downloads page you can get a static linked Windows zip pakage and a dynamicly linked Linux version linked against wxWidgets 2.8.6 (on Ubuntu 7.10), if people have problems with this i could give out a statically linked verison or you can get the source from svn and compile against your verison.
Note that there is a make script but atm without an install parameter (first have to look a bit into the structure of my Ubuntu and decide how to do it).
regards BoscoWitch.
Welcome to the young Open Source project wxSimpleSync.
After a lot of coding work i decided to make my new cross platform port of SimpleSync (MFC to wxSimpleSync wxWidgets) Open Source.
Currently it is nearing its first Release Candidate and already surpasses SimpleSync in its features.
