FreeFileSync Forum

Hi! Because of setting up a new computer I had to change the name of my main data folder. Apart from the name the location and content remained the same. I set up an new search aimed at the new folder, but FFS keeps reverting the search criteria to the old file name, and changes the backup location ...

I have two entries in my saved configurations that as soon as I click on them say "does not contain a valid configuration".
As this happens as soon as I try to highlight them I cannot get access to such commands as "delete" so I cannot remove them. Is there anyway to get rid of these configurations?

I have had to reinstall windows. I reinstalled my FreeFileSync configurations but some of them return a "does not contain a valid configuration" error, as soon as I highlight them. Because of this I cannot access configuration tools such as rename, hide, or delete.

I now have a new sytem which worked fine until 2 hours ago. Now it's back to same old, same old - error code 5. There must be a simple solutiont to why a programme that works fine one second refuses to do so the next, but there is no credible solution to this error - unless you know one

It would be really useful if one could colour the saved compares. I am updating the same files between several computers and at times it gets confusing. If I could mark all the updates for one computer/external drive the same colour it would be harder for me to make mistakes.

This seems to be an ongoing bug in FreeFileSync. If you look at the history this comes up again and again, and I have yet to find a solution that works or even begins to make sense.
Should a moderator disagree, I'm only too willing to be corrected - please point me in the right direction.

Hi!
I had a donation edition of FreeFileSync, but when I tried to update to version 10 the update failed and I lost everything.
I've now downloaded the plain version of 10, but I would like the donation edition back

Many thanks

Hi!
I somehow inadvertently must have ticked the box so that as soon as I press the Synchronize button it does so rather than going to the pop-up giving the details of what is to be synchronized. Is there any way to revers this to the original pattern?

I have tried just comparing the size with the same 100% missmatch.

I just copied a large set of files from one computer to another (15G), but when I compare them it says that not one of them matches and it wants to replace everyone of them to mirror sync. What is going on here?
