[softwarelist] Re: SyncDiscs for Windows

The backup seems to work OK, but I'm a bit puzzled by the use of the -quit
parameter.  The documentation suggests that using this will cause
SyncDiscs to exit quietly when the job is done, but I'm finding that it
just opens its window instead.  Without -quit, the window opens at the
start of the process, so there seems to be some effect.  I was hoping that
with -quit included, the backup would happen totally silently, so that it
could be automated.


Hmm it should work. I've used SynDiscs from a bat file for a long time, but I've never had the above problem. I wonder what the catch is.

Someone pointed out last week that SyncDiscs for RISC OS does not work properly via LanMan, DOSFS etc. The problem is that it assumes files are listed in alpha order, and on PCs they're not. Version 1.10 should pop up on my web site any moment - allowing you to back up to Windows - perhaps.

I keep adding stuff to SyncDiscs for Win as I find things I need, I really will have to release a new version...
