KeySync

KeySync Version 3

Note: KeySync Version 3 requires KeySoft 7.5 build 27 or later. If you are still running build 20, then please upgrade to the latest build. See www.humanware.com/support/braillenote/keysoft_7.5_upgrade

Note that the installation program is called KeySyncSetup.exe rather than setup.exe as referred to in the User Guide.

KeySync 3 has vastly improved KeySync making it easier to use, more robust and stable, and less prone to errors. KeyPlan in particular is now more compatible with MS Outlook.

In particular the following improvements have been made:

1. KeySync is now compatible with Windows Vista.

2. The prompt presented when contacts or appointments have been independently changed on both sides is much easier to understand and if identical changes have been made on both sides, no prompt is given.

3. Likewise the prompt presented when new entries are found on both sides and the details of which are similar enough to possibly be the same person or appointment is much easier to understand. Once again if all details are identical no prompt is given.

4. If you opt to leave a decision about the synchronisation of a record until next time you synchronise because you need to look at the entries involved to make the decision, the details of the contact or appointment are written into a file called "KeySync decision log.txt" located in the KeySync folder on the Flash Disk.

5. If an error is encountered during synchronization, synchronization is no longer abandoned but continues with the next record.

6. In KeyPlan you can no longer reschedule an occurrence of a recurring appointment to be on or before the date or the previous recurrence or on or after the date of the next recurrence. This change is for compatibility with MS Outlook. If you already have such appointments, an error will be reported and the details will be written in KeySync decision log.txt. You will need to reschedule such recurrences yourself to the correct dates.

7. A problem in KeyPlan where if the date of a yearly repeating appointment was changed recurrences past the first remained on the original date has been fixed.

Note that if you are using the BrailleNote PK and a Bluetooth GPS receiver, you will have to de-activate the GPS receiver before synchronising.
