• During a background sync, with the backup strategy set to “Move old files to…”, removed files are now moved to the archive folder. Old versions of modified files are still only archived during the main sync. • “File or Directory” filters now allow to manually enter a path, in case the path is not shown in the Finder. • If the scripts in the sync settings Advanced tab or in “Once all syncs have completed” cannot be listed, an alert is shown. • Fixed a crash that happened when removing a sync item that had a schedule attached and was also in an active sync group. • Fixed a crash that happened when removing a sync item within a sync group that had both sync items and sync groups.

• When creating a new sync item, .DS_Store files are added automatically to the filter. • Fixed a crash that sometimes happened when multiple scan errors occurred at the same time. • Fixed a crash that happened on macOS 10.15 or older when trying to open the backup strategy popup button.

• Improved compatibility with macOS 26. • When “Remove files not on source” is enabled, a destination file is not removed anymore if the respective source file triggers a scan error. • Fixed a crash that happened when running “Sync and Compare File Contents” and a file became unavailable during the comparison. • Fixed an error that sometimes happened when trying to run a sync with backup strategy “Incremental, link unchanged files” that had been previously cancelled. • Fixed an error that happened during the settings update process when launching a new app version after having used a much older version.

• Sync items with a schedule set to Automatic don’t show an error anymore on app launch if one of the bases is unavailable. When “Sort by Relevance” is enabled, they are sorted after all sync items with a scheduled date. • Improved scan time for one-way moves. The full destination is not scanned anymore; the destination is only scanned for files with the same name as on the source. • Consolidated results in the confirmation panel: for syncs with more than two source bases, the changes are grouped by destination base, merging results from different sources. • Fixed a crash from macOS 11 to macOS 14 that happened when trying to add or edit a schedule. • Fixed an issue with the “Show only files affected by warning” filter in the sync confirmation panel that sometimes didn’t hide files properly. • Fixed an issue that prevented custom scripts with the handler signature “on syncStart(syncItem)” from running before a sync starts.

• Added a new option “Save Backup Checksums” for incremental backups that allows backups to be verified later (requires macOS 10.15 or newer). • Added a new option to run a custom AppleScript before a sync starts. • A sync group’s Execution Mode allows to choose whether the contained steps are run sequentially or concurrently. • The confirmation dialog now has a filter that can be toggled to show only files with a warning. • Improved the speed of file contents comparison when running “Find unequal files” and added more detailed progress information. • “Find unequal files” has been renamed to "Sync And Compare File Contents". • When two files with different contents are found during “Sync And Compare File Contents” for a one-way sync, the files are added to the Overwrite list instead of logging an error. An error is still logged for two-way syncs. • When adding a sync schedule for a sync item, you can now choose which action to run: “Sync”, “Sync And Compare File Contents” or “Verify Backup” (if supported). • The scripts “Send email” and “Send Slack message” have been updated so that they can differentiate between the completed action (“Sync”, “Sync And Compare File Contents” or “Verify Backup”). If you need to differentiate between these actions, please reinstall the corresponding script. • The sidebar context menu (which allowed to rename and remove groups) has been integrated into the menu that can be opened by clicking the three-dots menu when viewing the sync group. • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the “Find unequal files” command to not start at all or start a sync for the wrong sync item. • Fixed an error that happened when trying to remove non-empty directories on some devices. • Fixed an error that happened when archiving locked files with the “Move old files to” backup strategy and the option “Temporarily unlock locked files before overwriting/removing them” was enabled.

• Sync items in a group can now be deactivated from the context menu. • Sync groups can now contain both sync items and other groups. • Files listed in the confirmation window can now be added directly to the filter. • Custom scripts are now run one at a time (workaround for the “Sending emails” label in Mail that got stuck when sending multiple emails at the same time) • Fixed an issue that caused the “Next sync” label to show the value “Now” after adding a new sync schedule. • Fixed an issue that caused the wrong folder to be opened when clicking on the magnifying glass button beside a sync base in the General tab of the sync settings (with 3 or more bases). • Fixed a crash that happened on macOS 10.15 when toggling the option Sort by Relevance.

• Fixed a crash that happened when syncing a group with a schedule set to Automatic.

• Fixed a crash that happened on launch for older macOS versions.

• Fixed an issue that caused the last sync date label not to be updated during background syncs. • Fixed an issue that caused the name of a renamed sync group not to be updated in the File or status item menu. • Fixed an issue that prevented a sync group from being renamed when clicking outside of the name text field instead of pressing Enter. • Fixed a crash that happened after importing settings which contain sync schedules. • Fixed some crashes that happened when trying to drag elements or click buttons that should not have been draggable or clickable.

• Fixed a crash that happened when reordering sync groups in the sidebar. • Fixed an issue that caused updated filters to appear like they weren’t updated. • Fixed an issue that caused the Sync Settings menu item to do nothing. • When a group is selected in the sidebar, a sync items can be removed from all groups and the All sync items list by holding the Option key and selecting “Remove sync item” from the context menu.

• Unordered sync groups and dependencies between sync items have been replaced by a new and more intuitive type of sync groups. You can add new groups and easily add and reorder sync items. • The Filters tab has been streamlined: filtered expressions and filtered files are now merged in a single hierarchical structure that is easier to understand and more flexible. • The Schedule option has been moved from the sync settings to a dedicated Sync Schedule window which allows to manage schedules for all sync items and groups. It can be opened from the main window toolbar or the Window menu. • The One-time Trigger menu item has been converted to a sync schedule named "At a given date" which can also be found in the Sync Schedule window. • Shortcuts app support has been improved. Because of this change, any existing shortcuts don’t work anymore. • Added file modifiers cannot be temporarily deactivated anymore. Inactive file modifiers are removed automatically when launching this app version. • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused sync items with the Automatic sync schedule to run without apparent reason. • Fixed an issue that caused a sync error when linking a locked file during a sync with the backup strategy “Incremental, link unchanged files”. • Added a built-in AppleScript to quit SyncTime when a sync or all syncs complete. • Past logs for sync items created before July 2022 don’t show the sync item title anymore, but their ID instead. In the Activity log window they won’t be listed when selecting the sync item title from the toolbar anymore, but when selecting their ID instead. Logs generated starting from this app version will appear correctly.

• Fixed a crash that happened when syncing to a volume that reports its available capacity to be the highest number the Mac can represent. • Fixed an issue that caused errors when running a sync with a rename file modifier in background. • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused a custom backup timeframe to appear as “Keep all backups”. • Fixed an issue that caused the source path of a moved file to be hidden in the confirmation dialog.

• Fixed an issue that caused an error when selecting the backup folders for the “Move old files to…” backup strategy.

• A sync immediately terminates with an error if the settings are incompatible with the selected bases, e.g. if “Track moved files” is enabled but the source base doesn’t support persistent file identifiers, which previously caused unexpected results. • Fixed an issue that caused the copied file size not to be shown during a sync.

• Added a new overwrite policy “Overwrite if modification date is different”. • Added a new tab to the confirmation dialog that lists removed, overwritten and added files in a single list (requires macOS 13 or newer). • Automatic volume connection can now be controlled independently for each sync item base. • Error logs signalling file conflicts are now easier to understand by including the modification date and size of the scanned file and of the snapshot (if it exists). • Fixed an issue on macOS 13 and older that could cause the main menu to be unresponsive after launch. • Fixed a startup crash on macOS 10.14.

• Fixed an issue that caused custom sync schedules to run at midnight.

• Fixed an issue that caused the “Skip confirmation dialog” setting to be disabled after running the latest update. (If the option was enabled and you already ran the previous update, you have to enable it again manually.)

• Added 7 new languages: Arabic, Dutch, Hindi, Korean, Polish, Swedish and Turkish. • Added a new backup timeframe option to gradually remove old backups: Decimate old files, which keeps all backups for the last 24 hours, one backup for each day for the last 5 weeks, and one backup for each week before. • Incremental backups can now be browsed through a new interface that allows jumping back and forth between backup dates inside the selected directory. It can be opened via the “Browse Backups” item in the File or contextual menu. • Added new filters for matching hidden and locked files and aliases (symbolic links). The hidden files filter replaces the option “Exclude hidden files”. • Added a file modifier for removing extended file attributes. • Removed backups are now logged as well. • The “Once all syncs are completed” option can now be set via AppleScript. • There is no more a separate option to hide the confirmation dialog for moved/renamed files. The other option “Skip confirmation dialog” is now applied to moved files as well. • Fixed an issue that caused errors that were automatically removed after they reached the maximum log age to remain unresolved.

• Fixed the Shortcuts app integration. • Hard links are not duplicated anymore.

• The confirmation dialog for moved files shows both the old and new path. • The status icon now reflects if there are any unresolved sync errors. • Sync items and sync groups can now be started via AppleScript. • The sync item settings, snapshots and activity logs were moved from “~/Library/Containers/org.desairem.uSync/Data/Library/Application Support” to “~/Library/Group Containers/8L4NN3ZTVN.org.desairem.SyncTime/Library/Application Support”.

• The “Sync completed” log, “Send email” script and “Send Slack message” script now include a summary of changed files. • Improved memory footprint by only keeping error logs in memory for fast access. All other logs can be loaded by pressing the “Load more” button in the log window. • The “Send email” script now includes emojis reflecting the sync status. To include this change, please reinstall the script. • Fixed an error “Error loading snapshot” when syncing regular files with the two-way sync mode. • Fixed an alert “Notifications are not allowed for this application” when adding or editing a sync item after disabling system notifications. • Fixed an error in the “Send Slack message” script that occurred when cancelling a sync or a sync completed with a sync error. To fix the error, please reinstall the script. • Fixed a crash that happened sometimes when changing many files at once during a background sync.

• Fixed an error “Invalid argument” that happened when copying files on macOS 11 and older.

• The confirmation panel highlights older files that overwrite a newer file when the overwrite policy is “Overwrite if timestamp or size is different”. • Improved syncing speed for large files. • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused the app to become unresponsive while mounting volumes. • Fixed an error “Result too large” that sometimes happened during the scan on macOS 10.13.

• Added two scripts that can be executed when a sync completes: send an email or a Slack message with the sync status. • To check why a file is listed in the confirmation window, the source and destination file details can be shown either by double-clicking the file or by selecting the corresponding item from the context menu. • Regular files can now be synced as well. • The confirmation panel shows a warning when an older file overwrites a newer file and the overwrite policy is “Overwrite if timestamp or size is different”. • Activity logs are now saved in an easy-to-read TSV file. • Fixed a crash that sometimes happened when tracking moved files. • Fixed some display issues on macOS 10.15 and older.

• The “Pause syncs” menu prevents syncs from starting automatically and now pauses running syncs as well. • Fixed an issue on macOS 14 that caused the main window and the sync confirmation window to grow each time they were shown. • Fixed an issue on macOS 13 that caused added filters and the selection when editing an Age filter to be invisible. • Fixed an issue that caused a gray dot to appear beside the progress bar during syncing. • Added a workaround for a crash on macOS 10.13.
