I just noticed that when I want to synchronize my casper shares it now says replicate. However, in the older versions I used to be able to select several shares on the left hand nav bar and right click and say sync. Now, it seems that when I try to replicate anything Casper Admin becomes unresponsive, and I can no longer select multiple distribution points at once.
Anyone else experiencing this?
thanks
Tom

I have seen the same thing as I was trying to setup a replication sever this past Friday. I thought it might have been how I was setting things up, but this verifies that it wasn't. Casper Admin does become unresponsive and you have to quit/relaunch to be able to keep working with the program.

If you hit cmd + L it will go back into list mode and it will bypass
this. They are going to fix that soon. However, you can still only
replicate one server at a time now. I have an open ticket with jamf
support on the issue.
You can still just mount the share and copy stuff over AFP as well,
which I have done over the past.

We are experiencing the same issues with Casper Admin 7.01: you can only
replicate (sync) one distro point at a time and the Casper Admin becomes
unresponsive after replicating.
The work-around that JAMF provided was to type 'command' + 'L' to return
Casper Admin to a Show All view. This way you don't have to force quit the
application to proceed with your next task. (The Show All command is also
available under the 'File' menu.)
