It’s finally done! We’re proud to release SimSync PRO 4 to the public!
After a long time of development, which has been interrupted very often the new SimSync PRO 4 client is finally there.
A lot has been improved since the development started. The most eyecatching, the new design, is only 1 point in a quite long list of changes. Thanks to Olaf Borchert who created the new design and icon.
The other changes might not be that eyecatching and mostly unter the “hood”, but nevertheless outstanding.
Here’s a list of the new features and changes since version 3.5:
- New layout & skin (Template available in download section
) - Compressed downloads: Increase the download speed even on slow lines between 10% and 70% (depending on the filetypes to transfer)
- Better handling of multiple SimSyncPro.ini’s in 1 installation
Rename them to SimSyncPRO_[name].ini Replace [name] with something you use to identify the correct ini - Added support for http download from other sync servers
- New Feature: Check every x sec. if the sync account status has changed (Sync locked, account deactivated, etc.) und stops the syncronisation on demand
- Redesigned CustomSkin Option and extended the properties (see SimSyncPro4CustomSkin.zip)
-> New section in ini file [Style]
-> Added new properties along with the skin and general font color. Now buttons, text- and listboxes can have custom colors too.
-> SimSync PRO 4 custom skins are NOT backwards compatible to the SimSync PRO 3 and 3.5 Skins - FTP Connection handling optimized
- Caching of index files
- Switched internal handling of the index files to speed up the file and folder comparing
- Implemented use of Checksums, in case files can not be veryfied by size and date
