Saving the file list of the synchronization preview

Post by Anby »

Hello,

Is there any possibility to save the file list of the synchronization preview before clicking [start] ?

I've searched the [Menu ->] and I only found the "print" option that can save a report... BUT if there are long file- or directory- names, they are all cut.

What I need is to save the content of the synchronization preview as a CSV file for example.
Since this is a table, it would make sense.

If such an option exists, please let me now. If it doesn't exist yet, could it be implemented ?

Thank you for reading.

Hello,
you can run the job via a SyncoveryCL command line and save the preview. You can't save it from within the GUI.

Please see "Generating Sync Preview Only" on
https://www.syncovery.com/command-line/

There's a complete example on that page.

Hello Tobias,
Many thanks for the quick reply.
You are right, I forgot to consider the CL.
I've just tried and I confirm that this is exactly what I was searching for. :D
Thanks again and best regards,

Hello,
you can run

Code: Select all

SyncoveryCL.EXE /RUNX="Profile Name" /PREVIEWONLY /PREVIEWFILE="C:\Tests\Preview.html"
Alternatively, since Syncovery 9, you can run a profile by right-clicking and choosing "Run in Background".

When the Preview is ready, you can right-click and choose "Show Detailed Progress Or Results in Browser". That will show you the preview in HTML format in your web browser. If there are a lot of files, you may need to click on "All xxxxx" so you see all files on a single page.
