Re: Comparison File List

Awesome! Thanks. I've been using FFS for a couple of years now and clearly have not dug into all of its capabilities.

I still don't understand why the real-time file count displayed during a Compare ends up at about twice the number of files displayed as you described above. Does that real-time ...

Re: Comparison File List


You can export the list after a comparison. FFS will also find hidden items, so you won't see those normally until you change an OS setting to reveal them.


From what I can see, export only shows files that were found different by FFS Compare. I want the list of all files that were compared ...

Comparison File List

Is there any way to get the list of files that FFS is considering for comparison? The number of files shown in FFS after compare is much larger than the actual number of files in the compare directory. For example, FFS comparison displays 21,770 files whereas "find . -type f | wc -l" outputs 12,014 ...

Re: How do I change my recurring donation amount?

Yeah, I went through the donation process and it was a PayPal screen that had a checkbox for making it recurring. I guess I'll cancel my current payment within PayPal and create a new donation with the updated amount.

Re: How do I change my recurring donation amount?

When I donated it gave the option to make it recurring, which I selected. I want to continue donating but a different amount.

How do I change my recurring donation amount?

Is there a way to change my recurring donation amount? I am currently donating via PayPal. Do I need to cancel the existing recurring payment and create a new donation via the app?

Re: Can filter settings be externalized from sync and batch files?

Thanks for your reply. Maintaining only the ffs_batch file is a good suggestion. I'll think about combining the folders into a single file. The reason I currently have separate files is because of different synchronization requirements for the different folders.

Re: Can filter settings be externalized from sync and batch files?


1. You can edit .ffs_batch configs directly
2. Change filters, then save it as the default. Then when you create a new one, it will be the same. You can also edit existing config and set their filters to the new default, propagating changes

I understand that I can do as you suggest, but it still ...

Can filter settings be externalized from sync and batch files?

I am running FreeFileSync on two Windows laptops, with a Ubuntu server (running SAMBA) acting as the go-between, like this:

Windows <=SAMBA=> Ubuntu <=SAMBA=> Windows

I am syncing multiple directories on each laptop via separate .ffs_gui and .ffs_batch files.

I want the exclude filters to be the ...
