[. . . ] · Run the agent from within Laplink. Click Run Xchange Agent on the SyncTools menu. Then click the name of the agent file and click Open. · Run an agent you have opened in Xchange Agent. · In Windows Explorer, double-click the agent file. By default, agent files have . LLX extensions, and are saved to the My Documents folder. Once an agent finishes synchronizing files, the connection to the Host computer is closed. If Laplink was not running to begin with on the Guest computer, it is shut down automatically. TIP For a record of your latest synchronizations, refer to the Laplink log file located by clicking Options, and then Logging. 95 Dealing with conflicts When you are keeping folders on two computers in sync, a conflict occurs when a file has been modified on both computers since the last time you synchronized. You can handle these conflicts when you preview or run the agent, or you can set options to handle them automatically. For example, if you specify that conflicts are to be displayed every time you run an agent, old conflicts will appear every time you run the agent. The alternative is to exclude old conflicts, regardless of how other conflicts are handled. NOTE To retain both versions of files in old conflicts, click this option on the Advanced tab in Properties: Exclude Previously Skipped Files. Conflicts between files Conflicts occur when you modify a file on both of your computers. Since both files are new, you need to decide how to handle them: · Copy either the older or the newer file to the other folder, replacing the file already in that folder; · Copy either the older or the newer file to the other folder and give the file a new name. Nothing is replaced; · Skip the conflict without copying either file. When you skip a conflict you carry it over to future synchronizations. There are two categories of conflicts: · New conflicts Files have been changed on both computers since the previous synchronization; · Old conflicts Conflicts were left unresolved in earlier synchronizations. The two computers now have different versions of the same file, and both are dated prior to the latest synchronization. You can either treat these conflicts as new conflicts or ignore them and let both versions remain. Changing how all conflicts are handled By default, each conflict is presented for resolution when you run an Xchange Agent. You can change this so that conflicts are handled automatically. You can modify the conflict setting from the Xchange Agent's Properties tab. Ignoring old conflicts By default, old and new conflicts are treated alike, according to the settings on the Xchange 96 Other conflicts You may encounter other kinds of conflicts in these situations: · When you attempt to copy a file or folder with a long name to a drive that does not accept long names; · When you attempt to synchronize a file with a folder; this happens only when a file and a folder have exactly the same name.
