Re: ISSUE: Doesn't really know what to do with undated files

Thank you ... hopefully that is enough information to figure out the issue. By the way ... I can report that the same exact behavior occurs when a file is hidden and starts with a "." (which is what happens when a Mac works on a file). Every file I had which was hidden and started with a "." (e.g ...

ISSUE: Error Triangle Doesn't Clear

Hi, I synchronized a number of folders at the same time, but had forgotten to change to "PERMANENT" instead of RECYCLE, which generated errors.

Error, but not really

I am new to FreeFileSync coming off of DirSyncpro. When I do a sync, there is always a yellow triangle indicating an error of some sort; but it is that I sent the files to trash without recycling them. Is there, or can there be, an option that just chooses to delete without recycling, and, in any ...
