Overview of sync plan by pair

Postby Jim313 » Sun Nov 15, 2009 2:15 am

I like the overview of sync pairs in a project that show number of files synced last time. It would be nice to see that same format for the current sync plan. Unless I missed it, I have to click on the pull down window to view the sync plans individually to see if they have an active sync plan.

Thanks for all you are doing to make this the best sync program. ;)

This is a nice suggestion, and would provide a compromise solution to the problem of a trade-off between showing all sync plans simultaneously and toggling back and forth.

I would like the option to view all items from all sync pairs in a plan together. The present (Default) ability to view the files in a single sync pair in a plan is a nice way to keep the screen a bit more manageable, but for some uses it would be nice to be able to 'show all' at once.

Sort-of related, there's something about the current sync pair selector within a sync plan which I find a little confusing to the eyes. When I click on the vertical arrow at the right edge of the bar to select which pair within the plan I'm currently viewing, it takes a little too much mental effort to separate out the top line (which shows the current pair being displayed below) from the rest of the lines (from which we may select any pair from the plan - including the one currently displayed).
Perhaps adding a heavier horizontal separator bar between the top line and the list, and slightly highlighting in the list the pair presently displayed?

Thanks!

Viewing all sync pairs on the plan together may be more confusing for the user but maybe later I can add this as an option. It may be quite a bit of work to implement so I'm not sure I will do it before first (non beta) release.

I think, from looking at the comments in this thread, that this is one of those user experience things where what makes the most sense to some users will be confusing to others, and vice-versa. Either way, for me personally it's a minor item, and I appreciate you keeping it in mind for future consideration.
Cheers.

Thanks for the new version 3.0.37.0.

I may have missed it, but further to the preceding comment by Jim313 (Nov 15), if any of the sync plans are inactive, is possible to suppress them or mark the two-sided arrow with a different colour so that I don't have to open it to check?

Thanks for your efforts on this.
