FreeFileSync Forum

Let's not use the readonly flag then. Can you add an option to not update GlobalSettings.xml when the application is closed? That is a legitimate feature.

FFS used to support this. Many people run FFS on a CD and don't need or want to update GlobalSettings.xml every time they run FFS.

Then I need to make a feature request for FFS to not show an error message when FFS is run on ReadOnly media or if GlobalSettings.xml is set to ReadOnly?

I was hoping this would be fixed in the next release. The problem is still there in 5.10.

FreeFileSync 5.9 gives an error message if it can't write to GlobalSettings.xml.
