Synctrayzor--Windows tray utility/filesystem watcher/launcher for syncthing

Synctrayzor is a little tray utility for syncthing on Windows.

It hosts and wraps syncthing, making it behave more like a native Windows application

And less as a command-line utility with a Web browser interface.

Features include:

• Have a built-in web browser, so you don't need to fire up an external browser.
• Optionally starts on login, so you don't need to set up syncthing as a service.
• Can Watch your folders for changes, so you don't have to poll them frequently:
  • Syncthing on the its own had to poll your folders, in order to see if any files had changed.
  • Synctrayzor would watch your folders for changes, and alert syncthing the second anything changes.
  • This means can increase the polling interval in syncthing, avoiding the resource usage of high-frequency polling, but Still has any changes propagated straight away.
  • Folder watching respects the ignores configured in syncthing.
• Tray icon indicates when synchronization is occurring.
• Optional Tray messages When folders has finished syncing.

What would Synctrayzor do to my system?

Good question. The answer depends on whether you installed Synctrayzor using the installer, or is running it standalone.

Installer

Synctrayzor'll install itself into

C:\Program Files\SyncTrayzor.

By default, Synctrayzor would put its own configuration in

C:\Users\<You>\AppData\Roaming\SyncTrayor, and let syncthing with its default folder for it database, which is

C:\Users\<You>\AppData\Local\Syncthing.

It'll also create a registry key at

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\SyncTrayzor

The first time that it's is run, which would let it start when you log in.

You can delete this registry key by Unchecking ' automatically start on login ' in the settings.

If you check ' use custom home directory or syncthing ' in the settings and then Synctrayzor'll tell Syncthing to use

C:\Users\<You>\AppData\Local\SyncTrayzor\syncthing

For its database.

This is useful if you want to keep the copy of Syncthing managed by Synctrayzor separate from another copy running on your Machine.

The auto-update mechanism may download updates to

%TEMP%\SyncTrayzor.

This was periodically cleared out (once every few days).

Standalone

Synctrayzor would put its own configuration in

SyncTrayzorPortable\data,

And tell Syncthing to use

SyncTrayzorPortable\data\syncthing

For its database.

This means if upgrading, you can simply move the ' data ' folder over to move all your settings, and database.

If you uncheck ' Use custom home directory or syncthing ' in the settings, then syncthing'll use it's default folder for it s database, which is

C:\Users\<You>\AppData\Local\Syncthing.

The portable version won ' t start on login by default.

If you check ' automatically start on login ' in the settings and then a registry key'll be created at

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\SyncTrayzor.
