Is there a way to limit the filesize of the LogFile when an error occurred?
For example, the disk is full, or the drive is lost during a sync?

Auto-Delete "sync.ffs_db" after disabled in the settings from the folderpair?

Thanks, I should have found that too ...

Hello,

If mirroring or synchronizing to a remote folder,
it would be nice to limit the download and upload to percent x,
so as not to fully load the Internet connection.

Hello Zenju, maybe is it possible to have a Option in the settings-menu with: Show Errors at the top of the Logfile: Yes|No This is because i ran freefilesync with my own script and also i check the log with my script, so failures in the log a always doubled detected. And there is no solution for me...

Why using ffs to delete files? - ffs doesn't stop - can handle very long paths - writes a very good log-file - can do that with batch-processing - support Unicode - ... Why not using ffs to delete files: - User should exactly know what they do, when not - they lose files ... When you want to delete ...

ffs runs, and try to sync all the files that should be sync, and writes all in the log.
So you have x-thousands log-entries with these errors.
And ffs finishes when all the necessary files are checked.
Having a big number of files then it takes a lot of time.

for automatically sorting the folderpairs from a to z.

Hello Zenju, thank you for the new version. I will rembering that archiving deletes / overwriting files when: you have more folderpairs with identical folder and file structur, because fffs begins archiving not with the basefoldernames but with subdirs!

Hello,
I would like an new internal-var - for example: %base_path2% - with the Base-Folder-Names.
When having more than one folder-pairs:
i would use the these var for archiving.
Then for Example: Archivpath:
S:\ffs_archiv\%base_path2%\%date%

Settings: Comparison - Automatic retry

How many time times will ffs retry ?
One time ?
more than one times?

I forgot to say, ffs_batch is running over an Windows-Task - non-interaktiv (with user system).
In that case there is no tasktray.
The only way to stop ffs is to kill the task in Windows-Taskmanager.

Make an new Option to:
stop a running batch-job.

It can be very useful,
because kill a running batch-job,
remains the sync.ffs_lock files,
and the next run is very slowly.

Thank you, this helps.

Hello,
i'm searching for FFS 6.0 for Windows (2000),
does anyone have it ?
It's not in the FFS-Archiv.

what does it mean ???

Tools - Options- Copy locked files.
Then ffs uses shadow copy.
administrative rights required.

Show also the english names to the native language Names.
Maybe when moving the mouse over the native names.

No this don't retain the folder structure.

+1 also from me.
yes, it is a risk. A popup "Do you want to swap ..." would be ok.
