Horodruin (multiple folder file synchronizer)

#1 Post by Midas »

Horodruin is a multiple folder file synchronizer that has been around forever and is still being actively developed.

Unfortunately, although you can easily (Uni)extract the setup package offered for download (in a ZIP), Horodruin proved not to be natively portable in Windows XP, as it always saved 'Horodruin.ini' to '%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Horodruin'. It also registered the 'hdr' extension to 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.hrd'.

OTOH, synching project files are saved in INI like files with the 'hdr' extension at user discretion.
Download Horodruin latest release (currently v5.2.380.0) from http://stefanobordoni.interfree.it/Stef ... odruin.htm.

Horodruin has a new web-site (http://www.stefanobordoni.cloud/projects/horodruin/) and version 5.5.414.0 was released on 2017.03.18, change log and latest changes:
v5.4.399.0 (22/06/2016)
– fixed issues on deleting items.
– improved analysis error handling.
– fixed an issue from loading a project file from a source folder.
– minor UI tweaks.
v5.5.414.0 (09/03/2017)
– (copy engine) improved error handling.
– (src.add) fixed GPF & hang on path changing.
– minor UI fixes.

I never bothered to contact the developer (Stefano Bordoni) requesting a portable version because I didn't found Horodruin intuitive and easy to use.
