Synchronize does not check the original files of symbolic

Postby doquan0 on Thu Nov 23, 2017 10:54 pm

Hello

I'm using Syncovery 7.93e x64 on Windows 8.1

I have some folders and files like these:

D: \ Spanish \ Other \ AllVocabs.txt
D: \ Spanish \ Unit1 \ AllVocabs.txt (symbolic link of the above file)
E: \ Unit1 \ (this folder is empty)

Then I created a new profile called ForFriend which has

Left Path: D: \ Spanish \ Unit1 \
Right Path: E: \ Unit1 \

and I have enabled these options:
- Sync Operation Mode: Exact Mirror
- Follow Junction Points / Symbolic Links to Folders
- Copy Other Reparse Points
(Other options are set as default)

The first time I ran the ForFriend profile, Syncovery copied the AllVocabs.txt to E: \ Unit1 as a real file. This is fine and as what I expected.

After that, I changed the AllVocabs.txt file in D:\ Spanish \ Other and I expect the symbolic link AllVocabs.text in D: \Spanish \ Unit1 will be followed and copied to E:\ Unit1 in the second time of running the ForFriend profile. But Syncovery didn't show any changes.

Is this a bug in the program or is there any option I forgot to choose?

Thanks for any feedback
Quan
