[8:00 AM] Synchronize Update Addresses Time Zone/Daylight Savings Issues

Qdea has announced new versions of the software backup applications Synchronize! and Synchronize! Pro. The new versions address problems regarding Day Light Savings time. According to Odea:

Qdea announced today the release of the backup and file synchronization utilities Synchronize! Pro 4.1 and Synchronize! 3.8.

This release addresses the change in file modification times which occurs when a user changes the time zone or Daylight Savings Time. This is an issue that has existed since Apple introduced file sharing, and has recently become more of a problem with the introduction of MacOS Extended Format (HFS Plus) for hard disks.

Synchronize! and Synchronize! Pro allow for the change to file modification times, so that files with modification times which differ can be correctly compared.

Synchronize! Pro is available for US$99.95, while Synchronize! is available for US$29.95. You can find more information at the Odea web site.
