Requested features: sync by date/scheduler/brute force

Post by marco.pozzi »

Hello,
I have some ideas for your project.

it could be useful to add a "sync by date" feature (e.g. sync files/folders newer than specific date and/or relative to current date ignoring other files).

A scheduler is another feature, maybe with some triggers to run planned jobs (e.g. run only when wifi connected, run when standby time >= 2 hours, ...).

Finally, I will appreciate a "brute force" approach to failed transfers (e.g. automatically retry every specific time seconds).

Have a good job!

Marco

sync by newest date criteria has been added to wishlist. Retry-on-failure is already available.

Sync criteria option added in 3.4:
1 - File name + size (default)
2 - File name + size + date (remote mirror only)
3 - File name + size + newest date (remote mirror only)

#2 will fail under many devices (Samsung) before of an Android bug on file. We cannot update "last modified" field. #3 should be used then as it will only download newest file from remote folder.
