Konserve 0.10

Hello,

this is the release of Konserve v0.10

Konserve is a small backup application for the KDE 3.x
environment. It lives in the system tray and is able to create
regularly backups of several directories or files.

Changes in this version:

  • It is first checked if data has been modified since the last
    backup was made
  • Drag and Drop now works for remote files too
  • New tips added
  • Documentation update

Bugfixes in this version:

  • The backup url can be a remote directory. The generation of
    unique filenames now works
  • The help button in the wizard really starts the help
    viewer
  • Konserve follows links and includes the targets of the links
    into the backup
  • A check is performed if the last backup was successfull.

You can get it on:

http://www.simnacher.net/konserve/konserve.html.

There is also a link to the documentation and screenshots.

Special credits this time go to Janne Lähteenmäki for
implementing the check if files have changed since the last backup.
Thanks Janne!

Regards,

Florian Simnacher

    as simple as using a radio

    clean

    tracks
