Overview

	When opening Create Synchronicity for the first time, you can select the program language.
	You'll then see the base screen.
	Click the "New Profile" icon, type in a name for the profile and press Enter.
	You'll now be in the configuration screen. Type the path to the source and destination folders.
	Then, click the "Load folder tree" button(s).
	You can optionally check or uncheck subdirectories in the tree on the left. Also, I recommend turning on "Strict Mirror", so that if any unneeded files are in the destination location, they will be removed.
	Click Save in the lower right.
	You'll now be at the base screen. Click on the new profile and a menu will appear, choose Preview from this menu.
	You can see which files will be copied or updated. You can click Close to cancel, or click Synchronize to actually copy/update the files.
	While your files are being synchronized, Create Synchronicity displays the current progress.
	Done! Your files have been copied successfully.

(Based on the tutorial on create synchronicity's website.)

You can now optionally adjust more settings,

• Exclude file types by typing extensions like "pyc;tmp" under "Exclude these files"
• Exclude subdirectories by unchecking them in the tree
• Schedule synchronization by clicking a profile in the base screen, then clicking "Scheduling"
