I am frustrated by the recent change to Akruto Sync where you now cannot end the program in a simple way anymore. (It now closes to the tray, and to actually end the programm requires multiple additional clicks.) I only run the program when I need it to actually sync. The IP address of my computer changes frequently because I use my laptop in different environments, and whenever the IP address is not the one that was configured for Akruto Sync it comes up and complains. (I only sync locally at specific times, so I don’t need it most of the time.)
I understand the change was made with good intentions, and it might work for many people, but it doesn’t work for everyone and is annoying when the “feature” is not useful, such as in my case.
Ideally you would make it a preference whether to minimize to the tray or end the program when closing the Akruto Sync window. Your support indicated that there are no plans to provide such an options.
If that is not an option, how can I get back the last version of Akruto before this change? What was the version and where from can I download it? Unfortunately your updates come without any change history, so it is not possible to check beforehand whether a new update is actually useful. So I hope I can at least revert to the last version that didn’t have this “feature”.
Thanks
Hi W,
Click the “Open Data Directory” link in AkrutoSync. In the window that opens, find the file config.txt (sometimes shown as just “config”) and double-click it to edit the file.
New config file options
• Option to NOT minimize to the clock area. Instead, clicking the X button will immediately close the program. The user will not be able to sync until they start AkrutoSync again.
To enable, change from iconize.on.close=true to iconize.on.close=false.
Restart AkrutoSync for the option to take effect.• Option to NOT display a notification message when AkrutoSync is minimized to the clock area.
To enable, change from iconize.show.balloon=true to iconize.show.balloon=false.
Restart AkrutoSync for the option to take effect.• Allow AkrutoSync window to be resized. This is helpful in those rare cases when AkrutoSync comes up as a very small window, instead of a normal-size window.
To enable, add resizable=true to the config file (the option is not present in the config file by default)
Restart AkrutoSync for the option to take effect.• Option confirm.exit
True by default. If you set it to false, it will not show a confirmation dialog before exiting AkrutoSync.
Restart AkrutoSync for the option to take effect.Alf Delola
