You may disagree, but FFS does exactly what you tell it to do:
make an exact Mirror (source to target) of all files and folders that are in the scope of the sync.
Per the Time Span filter, you have excluded all files older than 31 days, so those are outside the scope of your FFS sync and are ...

Run a post-script command that deletes anything older than 31 days xCSxXenon, 28 Jul 2024, 14:55

Yeah, that's why I chose a GUI tool like FFS.

I disagree. A Mirror function that accumulates files is not a Mirror behavior at all. How would that be different from an Update behavior?

Here's the intended use case: I want a mirror of the latest 31 days of files. How would you propose accomplishing this properly "by design?"

Premise : Mirroring is supposed to delete objects on the right that are not present on the left.

Issue : When setting a Time Span filter (eg. Last 31 Days), files older than 31 days are not being deleted. This is Update behavior, not Mirror behavior. Therefore, the folders are not properly ...

New feature request submitted and cross-linked:
viewtopic.php?t=10642

Would respectfully request the ability to enable/disable an individual folder pair, for convenience when re-organizing storage, trying new settings, etc., without needing to save/manage separate configs for this.

Please see related Feature Request to execute an individual folder pair upon command ...

Looks like a very closely-related ask; the ability to execute an individual folder pair on command. Nonetheless, I don't want to horn in on the request that you linked, so I'll start a separate feature request on the enable/disable angle. Thanks!

Likewise, it would be nice to have an enable/disable button for each fold pair... right next to this new "go" button! Will drop my own feature request for this, but *so* closely related! :)

UPDATE : Related Feature Request submitted:

It would be handy to temporarily disable individual folder pairs vs. having to delete them when re-organizing my storage. Am I overlooking this or should this be a feature request?
