Control+arrow moves the bottom shade. The command key is ignored.

Control+arrow was usurped by Mission Control and Application windows on my system. Holding control command allowed me to control the bottom shade. I wonder why.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/449/2120 https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/449/2120 GMT [Suggestions and Feedback] Re:1:1 copies, source data validation...
James Bucanek wrote:Applications do not update the creation, modification, attributes, or access time of file objects. That's handled automatically by the filesystem. In fact, an application would have to go to extraordinary measures to modify a file in a way that made it appear that it hadn't. I'm not aware of any apps that do this.

The only instance I can remember where this happens is with AppleScript Editor in Snow Leopard when modifying scripts saved as applications. The date modified of the application didn't change when I modified it with AppleScript Editor in Snow Leopard. However, a few minutes ago I opened a script I hadn't touched since 2011 by using "Show Package Contents" in the Finder and items inside did have modification dates that were later than the application's modification date (which, in Snow Leopard, always stayed the same as the date created). So, the files that I modified apparently did have updated modification dates but the package/application containing them did not. Apple seems to have fixed this in Lion or Mountain Lion: scripts saved as applications get updated modification dates when they are modified by AppleScript Editor in Mountain Lion.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/202/2119 https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/202/2119 GMT [Problems and Bugs] Update to layer shade controls in QRecall help
Control option controls the top shade, control command controls bottom shade.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/449/2115 https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/449/2115 GMT [Suggestions and Feedback] Four suggestions/requests
The archive settings sheet should specify that the leftmost position of the three sliders is "off." This would be helpful because users don't always read the manuals before starting to use software.

I'd like a separate button for the menu which is normally available by right clicking the stop button in the QRecall Activity window. Recently, I accidentally left clicked the stop button for a process in the activity window, when I wanted to have right clicked.

I want options to be able to delay an action more than 5 minutes, so I can perform 12 or more actions in a specified sequence when a volume connects. In my case it's because I'll be using two archives on the same volume, which have six actions each.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/448/2114 https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/448/2114 GMT [Suggestions and Feedback] Re:1:1 copies, source data validation...

The modification date is changed by the operating system whenever there is write access.
If the modification date does not indicate write access since a hash signature was generated but the file has changed, then it is corrupted.

I, too, would like to have source data validation. The method I was going to suggest is this one posted by Mostly Harmless. However, I think that not all applications or processes update the modification date of files that are written to.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/202/2113 https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/202/2113 GMT [General] Re:6 terabyte limit
Also, that's a great idea to split unrelated data into different archives! I'll definitely try that.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/444/2102 https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/444/2102 GMT [General] Re:Encryption https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/420/2101 https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/420/2101 GMT [General] 6 terabyte limit the features page, it says that one can store up to 6 terabytes of data in a single archive. This limit is more than enough for me... at least for now. However, I can imagine needing to store more than 6 terabytes of data in the years to come. This limit will increase in future versions, right?]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/444/2098 https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/444/2098 GMT [General] Encryption
Chris Petit wrote:Note to others that want to use encryption. You should use lion's volume encryption feature and not an encrypted disk image or sparse bundle.

The sparse bundle creates two disk directory indexes, which can cause problems.

James says he will also be adding encryption directly to the program in a future version so be on the lookout for that as an option.

Does this refer to encryption for the QRecall archive (putting the QRecall archive on an encrypted volume or encrypted sparse bundle), or to the data that will be backed up on the QRecall archive (backing up an encrypted volume or encrypted sparse bundle)? I think that it's the former, but I'd like to be sure.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/420/2097 https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/420/2097 GMT
