Gotcha! I just meant it isn't a feature in FFS xCSxXenon, 08 Apr 2023, 14:56

Yeah got it. Thanks! I just think that it would be nice to have it.

Isn't every non-existent feature a limitation of the code? xCSxXenon, 07 Apr 2023, 15:40

My bad. I misinterpreted your comment. I assumed that there is a technical limitation that prevents FreeFileSync from adding that feature.

That isn't something that can be done in FFS. You could use the "time span" option to only sync files in the last x days though. xCSxXenon, 06 Apr 2023, 15:21

Is it a limitation of the code itself? Thanks

Thanks for the awesome software. Is it possible to add a feature that will save a directory and all the relevant data such as file time, size and CRC as a snapshot? My use case is as follows: I have a flash drive that I copied a directory to. I leave it at a friend's house as an off-site backup. Sin...

Sometimes problems like this are caused by a change to Daylight Saving Time . Click the link for more information. You know, this might be the reason. I had been having my clock automatically changing itself to adjust for daylight savings and I keep fixing it but changes itself. Both my disks are N...

Make sure you are using two-way sync. Also, if you or anything else interacts with the files, the modification date may update, causing a difference. xCSxXenon, 18 Apr 2022, 15:00

Thanks for the replay. I use mirror sync. So the issue is me opening the files?

I have been having this issue since I started using this awesome software. I use a flash drive to copy files between two hard drive. They are connected alternatively to the same computer. I am using Windows 10 on both. The problem is that sometimes it will tell me that the file on the right, that is...

Also, Windows 10 and 11 are essentially identical in their kernel. Chances are anything that works in 10 will work in 11 and vice versa, unless hard-coded not to of course xCSxXenon, 14 Apr 2022, 18:57

Thanks. Knowing that, I feel better.

Short answer: most likely, yes Long answer: Whether support will be dropped largely depends on two factors (both) being fulfilled: 1. low % of total FFS users (e.g. below 1%) 2. significant maintenance burden So if 2 is not fulfilled, low number of users doesn't matter. And if 1 is not fulfilled, m...

Reaching end-of-life normally means that there will be no more updates. However, the OS and software will normally continue to work as is, and likely will do so for many years to come. Just note how many people are apparently still using Windows XP ... And you even often see that if, after all thes...

The IoT version reaches the end of life in 2032 but the mainstream ends in 2025. I don't want to install Windows 11. Forward-thinking and paranoid, I know. But I want peace of mind. Please ignore this if no discussion has even begun yet. Will the FreeFileSync team continue to support it? This softwa...
