Main Window¶
Main Toolbar¶
Take Snapshot
Take a new Snapshot in background. The main window can be closed during taking
the snapshot. Normal behavior is to only compare files size and modification
time. Alternatively, you can take a new Snapshot with checksums
option
enabled. This will calculate checksums for every file to decide if the file has
changed. Taking a snapshot with checksums option takes a lot more time but it
will make sure, the destination files won't be corrupt.
Refresh Snapshots List
Refresh the Snapshots in Timeline.
