RE: SyncToy v1.4 for Vista Released

Great! Here's another:

when selecting/deselecting subfolders in the tree for exclusion, please can
you fix it so that when a folder is checked/unchecked, all its subordinate
folders are automatically checked/unchecked along with it. At the moment you
have to check/uncheck every single subfolder beneath it as well, at every
level, otherwise they will not be excluded. This very nearly drove me
insane...!
Surely this is standard logic for this kind of tree? Otherwise, why have
tick boxes at the higher levels?

Many thanks

Yep, that will be fixed in the next release.

Please fix the bug in 1.4 where it ignores subfolder exclusions and copies
them anyway. This problem has been around on this forum for 2 years...

Can you describe your auto-sync wishes in more detail? :-) We're currently
evaluating the feature set for the next upcoming release and although I can't
make any promises, you might get some of what you want.

BTW, on the Vista x64 thing, sorry about the confusion - we have fixed it
for the next release.

Thanks

Hallelujah! A replacement for the useless, shameful, appalling, retrograde,

Just got it, and whatever faults it might turn out to have, it can't be
worse than that - and so far it looks sooooo nice! (Any chance of initiating
an auto-sync on e.g. USB Safe Remove??? he asked cheekily...)

In sheer gratitude, I shall grant Three Wishes to whoever is responsible for
SyncToy :) [but the Curse remains on the Briefcase developers - if they were
hoping to work off any bad karma in this life, they blew it]

Amazing... my Irony Resource Meter has bottomed out and the Daily
Satisfaction Indicator is red-lining! If I grin any more, the top of my head
will fall off.
