Portable Folder Synchronize Script Editor

Made as the portable counterpart of Folder Synchronize Script Editor, this is an advanced utility which facilitates a user-friendly interface to help you generate and edit script files. It's geared toward experienced users.

Portable app with a plain-looking interface

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can drop the program files in any location on the HDD and just click the executable to launch Folder Synchronize Script Editor. It's also possible to save it to a removable storage unit to directly run it on any PC with minimum effort. Unlike most installers, it doesn't modify the Windows registry configuration.

Configure advanced script settings

The GUI doesn't contain any visually appealing elements, but it's quite simple to figure out. Folder Synchronize Script Editor lists all script file settings available, so it's just a matter of filling in the blanks.
You can begin by editing default options, such as specifying the source and target path, along with a file mask. It's possible to include or exclude subdirectories, as well as choose the operation type between producing a comparison report, removing duplicates from the target, recreating the directory structure only, deleting all empty folders, or always prompting for action.
When it comes to data synchronization, the tool is able to compare the date/time or binary code, ignore whitespace and cases, match duplicates, overwrite older or newer files, carry out native file operations, and others. Plus, you can customize filters, such as excluding files before or after a specific date, together with directories and archives.
You can create as many actions as you want, change their order in the script, repeat actions, or delete an action to start again from scratch. The script can be saved to any location on the disk by establishing a file name, and you can later load it to edit properties.

Evaluation and conclusion

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that Folder Synchronize Script Editor didn't freeze, crash or show error messages. CPU and RAM consumption was minimal, so it didn't hamper system performance.
Unfortunately, the tool hasn't been updated for a very long time, and its interface needs a lot of work. Nevertheless, you can test Folder Synchronize Script Editor for yourself, since it's free.
