Bump. This would be FANTASTIC. Thanks!

I want FFS to move old files into a timestamp-folder on the drive from which they came. Is there a macro/label that I can use instead of the drive letter? That way, I can bidrectionally sync or swap sides and old files will be retained on their respective drive. Thanks.

Solved my own problem. I did not realize that comparing contents will also compare timestamps and touch those accordingly rather than do a full move/copy.

The most efficient way to sync is to match timestamps and size. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, some of my backups have many differing timestamps that cannot be aligned by an offset.

If I now revert to matching contents, the differing timestamps remain and on future syncs, I'm left with the ...

Bump. I've attached some pictures that illustrate the problem.

The following screenshot shows the macro having no effect: While this screenshot shows the numeric value filtering as expected:
Thank you for your help.

Given the following directory structure to mirror but excluding the 2020 subdirectory,
C:\temp\1\
C:\temp\1\2020\

using the filter *\2020\ works, but not the macro *\%year%\. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.

Next to the synchronize button, display the versioning path where files will be moved. This would save the user time in having to drill down into the synchronizing settings each time to confirm where files will be moved.

I want to sync by content and then 'touch' all files to mirror their modification time. Is there a way to do this in one fell swoop rather than by two separate compares?

Thank you.
