does not contain a valid configuration.

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 t...

does not contain a valid configuration.

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. Is there anyway that I c...

Re: Error Code 5: Access denied [DirReaderPlus]

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

Coloured Saves: create configuration groups

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.

Re: Error Code 5: Access denied [DirReaderPlus]

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.

Failed Update

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

Automatic Synchronization

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?

Re: Comparison of copied files wrong?

Comparison of copied files wrong?

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?
