Hello
I just reinstalled my PC and Vice Versa and got the following problem.
I'm defining my project with all its options and run the comparison to obtain what I want.
Then I save my project and when I reopen it, I get the following error message:
"Error in the file, The Source can not be a sub-folder of the Target"
This message is obvious in its logic but the fact is my source and my target are on different disks:
The Source = D:\MMX - Music (it's one of my PC's hard disk)
The Target = G:\[sauvegarde]\[active]\[sur PHIL-PC]\MMX - Music (it's a removable USB disk)
Can anyone tell me where the problem is? I have tried recreating the project or creating other projects with video and image folders but all had the same error.
By the way, I'm using version 2.3.1
Thx, Phil |

Hi Phil,
Version 2.3.1 is a very old version of ViceVersa.
Can you please try with a newer version?
thank you _________________ --

I'm currently evaluating the product.
I'm setting up a set of 3 disks which I want to keep in sync.
One of the disks will be taken offsite so that files won't be lost in a fire (never had one, hope to never have one but still...)
First disk, USB, black case so I created a folder Black on it with several subfolders (trees) below that.
Second disk, USE, white case so, as you would expect, I created a folder White on it.
Next I set up a profile to sync E:\Black with F:\White, including subfolders.
Click compare and inmediately get the error message :
A folder in Target e:\black\pdf is subfolder of a folder in source e:\black\.
But my target is F:\White...[/quote] |

|
|
Just reading back my post.
Could the product be evaluating all 4 rules in one go?
Is my C:\Pdf to E:\Black\Pdf be in conflict with my E:\Black to F:\White?
The target in the first would be in conflict with the source in the second? |
