SteekUP: More On The New Features
August 23, 2007
Let’s get back to the new features in the latest steekUP version, some of them described in this post from July 20th.
First, this new SteekUP version allows users to master the CPU and bandwidth used by the application, thanks to the new option in the “Advanced settings” section of the Configuration tab.
Simply define a maximum transfer speed, like the 500KB/s in the screenshot, and the rest of your bandwidth will remain available to your other applications.
Another big innovation in steekUP is the full intégration with the Windows, especially its contextual menu and the way files and folders are listed in Windows Explorer.
At any time, you can right-click on the sected elements in Windows Explorer and add them to you steekUP selection.
The folder(s) or file(s) are then “marked” with a visual clue is added on the icons.
Of course, the selected elements are are checked in the tree displayed in the BACKUP tab of the steekUP application.
The files inside the selected folders will also display the stekUP selection marker icon.
The same righ-click button allows you to remove a file or folder from the selection, of course.
The regular selection interface in the main steekUP application window continues to work as before, and the actions in the two are synchronized in real time. Try it out, add to selection a few files with the Windows Explorer contextual menu while you have the steekUP window opened and see how the check-boxes and icons magicaly appear and dissappear.

Got something to say?
any plans to support Mac OS X?
But we do, since long ago
If you go to the Download page on http://www.steekUP.com, you will be presented with the download for the platform you’re on. There’s a link at the bottom to switch to the other one, e.g. if you’re on Windows at work but want to get the Mac OS version to try it later at home.
