Very nice. You are using it exactly what I wrote this for, although for 
images instead of music (but the tool is neutral to that).

I did work on analysis, also to check for corrupted date backups, added 
information about that, happens with external disks mounted on different 
computers. I am still improving that, just committed some more fine 
grained log out.


Good to know that things work for you, although by change I was having 
issues with directories, perhaps a bit like you had. I investigated and 
found the issue: Target and Source path needs to be normalized the same 
way (e.g both with or without trailing / as directory bath). In case of 
mixed, StepSync had issues, this could happen e.g. when copying a path 
or editing it manually on one side, but using the file chooser for the 
other.

I added a normalization step.


The progress bar works 99% of the time (there are corner cases depending 
on the features used) and display works thanks to multithreading.


Give it a new try :-P
