Once the task collection is run (manually or automatically), it starts all the files in the collections. For example, I have a task collection &#8220;Backup&#8221; that runs all the different backup tasks that I use to back up different parts and projects of my harddisk to a removable medium. One click, one coffee and I can sleep better. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>BTW: This feature can be combined with a menu item of the &#8220;view&#8221; menu. It allows you to hide all the sync jobs that are member of a task collection from the main dialog. A great feature if you have so many sync jobs that it already messes up the main dialog, as it reduces the many synchronization jobs to a few task collections. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Another BTW: You can easily recognize the task collections in the main dialog, as they don&#8217;t have an icon to indicate their task type (sync, copy, etc.). Since they can icorporate many task types (sync AND copy) it doesn&#8217;t make much sense to display an icon.<br \/>\nIf you want you can <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.easy2sync.com\/en\/produkte\/easy2sync.php\" TITLE=\"Synchronize files\">test the Freeware Edition here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One might argue if collecting stamps is a useful hobby.
