Change v 1.4.0.110


I was not able to upload version 109, due to "some change in the Amazon S3 system with respect to '100 continue's , specifically the lack of perodically". The last statement is only my interpretation and has not been proven. These are required for redirection processing when buckets are created in Europe for about 15 minutes after creation, so its a bit silly that this should effect the mainstream  of operations on uploads.  This is a bit of a quick working hack in case you suddenly have problems on upload. 

Change v 1.4.0.109


Came across this while trying to synchronise, it did not work. Could not believe that no one had complained, so I studied this in a lot more detail than normal. Summary if you use the DB module a. its faster and b. more importantly there is no problem. The problem occurs on synchronisation where you are not using the DB module. I normally always use the DB module and I hope that is the same out there. Anyway fault now cleared even for non DB mode.
The DB mode on synchronisation can be 10-100 times faster and as my grinning wife has just said it works, go away woman

Major fault in hopefully non used mode.




Changes v 1.4.0.108


Bug fix version. Batch control was buggy and the new Copy, Move and Synch from S3 to S3 were missing. These have been included and the batch system retested.



Changes v 1.4.0.107 a


Small changes to version 107.
Synchronization  of empty folders produced an extra folder is now fixed. The following change is not a bug but a more natural setting, so that empty folders are transferred.
'Options' / 'Options' under tab 'Transfer Options' the option 'No Op on Empty Folders' has been unset as default.
+ following


Changes v 1.4.0.107



Display now allows you to select multiple files and display them.

Synchronization has been tweaked, for instance in dealing with empty folders and the introduction of Dummy operations on folders. Correction on finding UTC when synchronizing S3 to S3.

Abort when paused has been fixed.

Tool tips have been added.

Sissle no longer requires administrators rights, in fact it never did. This is a legacy of XP where out of laziness all programs were run with administrators rights and data files were stored in the Program Files folder. In case I am wrong you can right click on 'Sissle and select 'run as administrator', but note drag n' drop will not work. Note: Installation still requires Administrator rights to install.

                       Main New Development

Drag and Drop  to and from explorer has been completed for both Vista / XP. Drag n' drop from  windows explorer has existed for sometime for XP only.

Operation
Navigate in Sissle to the remote S3 folder where you require operations, similarly navigate in windows Explorer. Initiate drag n' drop in the normal way. The only difference is that the operation 'hard disk' to 'S3' is far slower than 'hard disk' to 'hard disk'.
Here is some basic advise

Download Large Files
Use Sissle only and select the range button, left arrow with four colored dots, this will download a file in segments. In case of failure only the download proceeds from the failed segment.

Upload Large Files
Unfortunately Amazon does not provide the corresponding (as above) for uploads.
Sissle will show progress which can be reassuring.

Download and Uploading medium sized Files
My own preference is to use explorer to Sissle (and vice versa) for short operations seconds to a few minutes. Otherwise I prefer Sissle on its own


 
 
 
 

 

The change logs for previous versions have been moved to a separate page Version History.  as they  were clogging up this page and other than the latest changes are not usually of much interest.
