Synx
Synx is a developer utility for Apple development environments that synchronizes disk folders with project navigators. It functions as an Xcode project folder synchronizer and file manager, ensuring that physical directory structures on the file system align with the logical group structures defined within a project.
The tool reorganizes physical files to mirror the virtual group hierarchy of the project navigator. It includes group exclusion management to prevent specific logical groups from triggering physical directory movements, allowing for the preservation of custom directory structures.
The utility also provides file pruning capabilities to identify and remove source and asset files from the file system that are no longer associated with any project group.
Features
- Xcode Folder Synchronization - Automatically reorganizes files on disk to mirror the virtual group structure defined within an Apple development project.
- Project Structure Alignment - Moves physical files to new paths to align the disk structure with the parsed project groups.
- Apple Development Utilities - Provides a utility for maintaining a consistent directory structure within Xcode projects.
- Folder Alignment Utilities - Aligns the physical file system folders with logical project groups to ensure directory structures match the project navigator.
- Folder Mirroring Utilities - Parses project files to reorganize physical folders on the disk to match the defined virtual group structure.
- Folder Synchronization - Reorganizes files on the disk to match the virtual group structure defined within the project.
- Project Configuration Parsing - Extracts logical group hierarchies and file associations from internal project configuration files.
- Xcode Project File Management - Aligns disk folders with project navigator groups and removes unreferenced source files from the file system.
- Xcode Project Organization - Aligns physical file system folders with logical Xcode project groups to ensure directory structures match the project navigator.
- File-to-Group Matching - Reorganizes files on the physical file system to match the structure of groups defined within the project.
- Logical-to-Physical Directory Mapping - Translates the nested logical groups of the project navigator into a corresponding directory structure on disk.
- Swift Project Maintenance - Maintains a clean and consistent directory structure to prevent discrepancies between the file system and the project navigator.
- Unreferenced File Pruning - Identifies and deletes physical files that no longer have a corresponding entry in the project configuration.
- iOS Project File Maintenance - Cleans up local source files and assets by removing unreferenced items not linked to the active project.
