Does not autosync, unreliable
I was hoping to use this to sync a directory of photos on my mac with another disk, to keep the two identical. But I can only define one sync task at a time, and it does not find differences between the directories so it fails to copy files. If I manually hit the "Reset" so that it needs to rediscover all files/dirs, then it works. But I really need this to run in the background, always watching these directories for differences, and it is just not reliable for that.
The interface needs to be streamlined so that there is one tab that lists all the available sync tasks, with a "+" or "Add" button to create new tasks. Then another tab that shows details on the selected sync task and allows you to set up the task, options, etc. However, this app has duplicate information for the sync tasks on different tabs so it is not clear where the settings are really to be made, and there is seemingly no way to add a task - there is a listbox, but only ever one task.
When you select directories to scan and sync, it will reset them to point at the wrong disk (I have a few disks and it seems to want to sync over top of itself!) This is also counter intuitive, and unexpected in a graphical interface.
Sadly, I have uninstalled.
