FreeFileSync Forum

Actually, it looks like the installer drops an unsigned executable installer in the appsdir temp area and tries to execute it. This executable, e.g. C:\Users\Zenju\AppData\Local\Temp\is-6B40T.tmp is properly signed. Other than that there's little one can do about this procedure. These are the shena...

In my test, Kubuntu was using dash. Yes, kompare is definitely in the path, so I'm not sure why it's not working within FreeFileSync. This might or might not be true. But it can be tested as follows: Add a new context menu option in FreeFileSync, give it some name e.g. "env" and the follow...

I wasn't able to test on Mint, but FWIW your command line does work on Kubuntu.

Most likely it's bothered by the fact that InnoSetup calls itself via an executable disguised as a tmp file in order to delay elevation. The AV signature is only a "Generic": https://freefilesync.org/faq.php#virus

I've moved the tooltip a bit down:

Fixed for the next version. It's a wxWidgets bug in their WAV file parsing.

I'm not able to reproduce this bug.

No

It's probably 15 years since I last needed to restore deleted files. Back in the day "GetDataBack for NTFS" was the only tool that worked for me.

Recycle Bin deletion in FreeFileSync works as follows: Instead of moving one file after another to the Windows Recycle Bin (which would be dog slow), FreeFileSync moves all these files to a temporary directory during sync (e.g. RecycleBin~5b04.ffs_tmp). Just before the end of the sync, the files *in...

Showing real name and surname in the FreeFileSync Donation Edition is deliberate and a form of copy protection. This information not shared with anyone, unless you share it.

You could select the first entry of each group, press F2, and prefix with a number.

In case you're allowing RDP to use UDP, I'd suggest blocking it in the firewall and going TCP-only, alternatively: https://winaero.com/microsoft-has-confirmed-the-bug-with-udp-in-rdp-on-windows-11-22h2/ Microsoft's homebrew UDP implementation seems to be repeatedly buggy and the unreliability isn't ...

Would you be able to provide me with a test login to this FTP server? Perhaps there's some way to fix encoding detection.

There's an inconsistency in the code that skips the "synchronizing folder pair message" when there's nothing to do for a folder pair, except when the DB file needs to be saved. Arguably the message should be skipped in the later case too, when no files will be synced. Especially when using...

In fact there is: https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=external-applications

Excluding filtering happens *after* it is determined what an item is (lstat).

I swear I remember this being address and fixed though, xCSxXenon, 27 Mar 2024, 18:25

Nah, I wish! There's even an old post by yours truly: viewtopic.php?t=5674

> Why does FreeFileSync show that both files have changed? Because the file-ID of both the left- and right-side file has changed compared to what it was at the end of the previous sync, as stored in the left-, respectively right-side database file. It's not the file ID that FFS is checking in this ...

Your problem may be self-inflicted. > I have set FileTimeTolerance to 0 ... I tend to agree with Plerry here. The reason you're seeing a 1 second file time difference is (most likely) because the underlying file system is lacking precision. https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1183#p5178 ...

My question is 2 fold. 1) why does ffs do this when nothing has actually changed? The file on the target side obviously *has* changed. Whether this is a problem, or not, only you know. If you don't care that changed files on the target side will be overritten, you could tell the program that by sli...

Just some clarifications: There is no such thing as "not all files/folders are seen" without also an error indication, in which case FFS will fail syncing these items and not delete from the target. The more likely case is that you (the user) are making a mistake and accidentally deleting ...

I'm not able to reproduce this. A "shared with me" folder that is linked to "My drive" is updated correctly in my tests when its content changes. However it seems to take a couple of minutes until these changes are notified by Google via change notifications.

Are you able to provide a test login into this server? When no path is specified yet, FreeFileSync detects the home path and uses it as the default when opening the folder picker. So despite the error when trying to change to "/", the folder picker should still show the determined home pat...

Is this issue reproducible?

Unfortunately the error message is lacking a few details. Can you retry with the following version: https://www.mediafire.com/file/i21s45a7g5el5z2/FreeFileSync_13.5_%255BBeta%255D_Windows_Setup%25282%2529.exe

He probably extracted the "portable" installation into C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync
