FreeFileSync Forum

I just installed http://www.pretentiousname.com/adobe_pdf_x64_fix/ and the problem is now fixed. The sumatra icon is shown in the 3 modes.

I'm using Sumatra 3.0 (portable). I had no problem with FFS 6.15 when released. I just check the logfile : a sync was launched on May 11 with pdf files, I don't remember a problem. When I reinstalled it (May 14)... I had a problem.

Now, I check my computer and found 2 updates on May 13 : a Windows ...

I made a few icon-related changes; does the following version show the pdf icon correctly?
[404, Invalid URL: https://freefilesync.org/FreeFileSync_7.1_beta_Windows_Setup.exe]Zenju

unfortunately no.

So the pdf icon is not shown in the 64-bit versions of both 6.15 and 7.0, but what is shown instead? All other icons are working with FFS? Is the pdf icon shown in 64 bit Explorer?
Yes. Before the Win system update (begin of this week), 6.15 was OK.
Nothing is shown instead : the pdf icon is ...

For the 1st point : I did a mistake when upgrading to 7.0. No bug at all. Sorry.

For the 2nd point : it's more strange : (I'm working with Win 8.1 64bits)
I installed 6.15 (as portable app in a temp folder) ... and I get the same problem (show icons : medium & large) for pdf disappeared. It's ...

Hello,

Congratulations for this new version of FFS, especially the MTP device support.
2 observations :
- GlobalSettings.xml : I added some external applications in the <ExternalApplications> section. They all disappeared. Fortunately, I had a copy of FFS folder :-)
- As default PDF view, I use ...

thanks for the reply. I now understand :screens changed and I stopped a little bit to early.

I just downloaded FFS 6.12 and tried to install it as a Portable application, as usual. But this option is no more available.
Is this option abandoned ?

Hi,
this post to let you know that it's perfectly working !
thanks for the help.

thanks for the reply.
I have to recognize that I don't well understand. I already use the "pskill" program (from the pstools package) but how to do practically for closing the program just after the sync job ?

I'm also working with CloneSpy and there is an option "Exit CloneSpy after scanning", in ...

Hello,
When the sync is done, there are some choices (Close progress dialog - Standby - Log off - ...) but is it possible to simply close FFS ?
I tried "Close progress dialog" but FFS stay open.

TIA

Yes, it was for some configuration using the "update method".
Thank you for your reply.

Thanks for the reply. I send my question too quickly :-)

Is it possible to put this feature in the configuration file ? I prefer to see
only files which will be copied. (especially when working with a netbook)

Hello,
I'm using FFS 5.5. Is it possible to show - after a comparison - only files
which will be copied ?
Actually, all files are showed.

Thanks in advance

thanks for explanation !
and good evening,

Hello,

thanks for the reply. The problem is that I didn't find any "full sync"
option. I found "automatic, mirror, update, custom" when clicking on the
"synchronise" button. Under the "'advanced" menu, I can't find any full sync.
Is there any shortcut ? I always do the following : 1/ compare 2 ...

Hello,

I have a stupid question. With the version 4.3, a new database format is used
for <Automatic> mode and a "a full sync is suggested before upgrading "... but
pratically, how to do it ?
In Automatic mode, I first compare, then synchronize files but when upgrading
to from 4.2 to 4.3, I had ...

... and everything is OK :)

thanks a lot for this quick reply !
after reading your message, I went to Configure Filter | Global Filter :
I saw I add *.lnk, by clicking "Default", the following lines appeared :
\System Volume Information\
\RECYCLER\
\RECYCLED\
\$Recycle.Bin\

I will test it tomorrow... but I guess ...

First of all, many thanks for this wonderful piece of software ! I used it
