Updates to WriteReallyFree, an app for syncing files from USB
I've made a few updates to WriteReallyFree, including packaging for Windows.
This is an app for syncing and converting files from a FreeWrite via USB. It "finds" the USB drive, will sync files to a configured folder, and optionally create .docx versions of the files if you select the option. Freewrite only mounts its storage read-only via USB, and the app tries to copy the file, so this app shouldn't be able to damage your files on the device.
One of the changes I've recently made was conversion options for the docx files:
- Optional double spacing
- Optional spacing between paragraphs
- Optional indent on first line.
It also:
- Strips the annoying dates from the beginning of the filenames if you wish.
- Has dark and light modes
- Ignores README.txt
I've tested Linux (Fedora, Mint, and MX) and on my M1 Air. Someone else was kind enough to verify that Mac on Intel works, too. I verified Windows in a virtual machine under Linux.
One thing I haven't been able to do is test with anything other than a Smart Typewriter. It should recognize the other devices, and USB storage is USB storage, but it would be great to hear if it works with Alphas or Travelers.
Constructive feedback, and pull requests, welcome!
