Synchonising a folder on two systems...

Finally i found a program that does the work of synchronising a folder from my desktop to my laptop based on the timestamp in a useful way. I hereby introduce RichCopy! It's a bit of configuring at start, but hell, that thing is powerful, clean and pure, just like i want my software to be. You can choose updates depending on various properties of files, you can also move two folders into one, it copies in a chosen number of threads, you can exclude certain files, ... the list is endless!

What i do for example for my actionscript project: As you can store update settings in a file, i pretty much have two files called "FromLaptop" and "ToLaptop" on my desktop and the vice versa on my laptop. As i use PSPad as my text (and therefore code) editor, i just added those files as source files in the project structure and can start them via a context menu entry. That way i can update the project from each machine whenever i want! The versions on both machines are identical whenever i need them to be.

Over are the times when i couldn't continue my coding ambitions because i forgot to update the files!
