GTK2 version of Unison
Wow, I’m impressed!
Unison is a great file synchronisation tool that is capable of dealing with updates occurring to the same file across multiple different machines. It is similar to rsync in that it is something that gets run at a given time interval and not like, say, iFolder or Windows Offline Files.
I’ve been using a command line version of Unison for quite some time to keep my laptop, desktop, computer science and CompSoc accounts in some sort of synchronised state. I can be selective about what I pass between machines and I don’t even need to use any single machine as a dedicated “server”. Synchronisation is two-way (unlike rsync) and it’s an all-round great tool.
This new interface makes it even better. Resolving conflicts is now a breeze and it looks good to boot. Good work the Unison dev team!
