Introduction

What is Zynk? Zynk is a graphical user interface / GUI for rsync with some special features. This project is under high development at the moment and i will make the code public when Zynk is usable and stable.

Zynk is being written in C using GTK+ and the Glade interface designer.

Features

My goal is to implement as much features as possible from the rsync command. I think everything is possible so all parameters will be implemented at some time. I will implement all functionality exactly like it is integrated in rsync to be as much compatible as possible. The interface will only show some standard options and more enhanced configuration must be done in a detailed configuration window.

Dot Zynk files

Zynk project files does look like the file example.zynk.

Status

You can see the development status of the project below. This status shows you how much work is done until next release. The green bar shows the work that is done and the right bar shows the percentage of work that is not done. A more detailed development status will follow... ;-)

The actual bar shows the status for the first code release.
