Conflicting Files Rename

Postby denverdude2000 on Sat Apr 30, 2011 5:08 pm

I have two offices that I am testing SuperFlexible to sync files between. Currently the SuperFlexible software will add a "$" to a file's extension that has been updated in both locations and is in conflict.

Is there a way to instead of adding the "$" to the extension, to add something more obvious to the user? Say something like "filename-CONFLICT.txt"?

The main problem we are having is most programs when browsing for a file to open will filter the files according to the extension that the program uses. A file with a weird extension never shows up in the program's file browser list so no one ever sees the file in conflict. For instance, Excel's file browser will never see a file called "spreadsheet.xls$", so the user never knows that there may be two copies of the same file.

Hello,

on the SmartTracking dialog, tab sheet "Conflicting Files", please remove the checkmarkat the bottom. The the renaming scheme will be like this:

I see...thanks. Is there anyway to modify this setting so it names the conflict files with something other than "-1.*"?

Is this something I can modify in the .INI file?

Thanks again.
