Those Tablet PC Podcaster Guys (James Kendrick and Marc Orchant) mentioned an upcoming Cool Tool on The Tablet PC Show #18. Tablet PC Podcaster Guy #1 highlights Chris Pirillo's blog post about the arrival of Synctoy, a new powertoy that will apparently ease the process of syncing files between multiple computers.
Here's an excerpt from the download site:
SyncToy is a free PowerToy for Microsoft Windows XP that provides is an easy to use, highly customizable program that helps users to do the heavy lifting involved with the copying, moving, and synchronization of different directories. Most common operations can be performed with just a few clicks of the mouse, and additional customization is available without added complexity. SyncToy can manage multiple sets of folders at the same time; it can combine files from two folders in one case, and mimic renames and deletes in another. Unlike other applications, SyncToy actually keeps track of renames to files and will make sure those changes get carried over to the synchronized folder.
A white paper is available for download at the site linked above and the Powertoy is due to debut in August. This could be very cool for those who have the need to sync files between computers. According to the white paper it was designed with digital photographers in mind but can be used to sync other files as well.
