You must be trolling, one more fish:
Source: C:/
Dest : D:/FolderDest

Works for me, you should probably be more specific about what doesn't work.

Source: C:/FolderSource
Dest : D:/FolderDest/FolderSource

Which limitation in 8.1 are you talking about?

Including *.txt and excluding nothing is sufficient. You are excluding everything from the subset of all .txt files.

This rule will be relaxed again with 8.1 (release later today) to allow copying and using the portable version on systems other than the one where the installation occured and without having to install on a usb stick.Zenju

Great news, thanks!

Install it in portable mode on a different system (since 8.0 it will be bound to the installed system so use 7.9) or extract it with InnoUnp (8.0 won't work that way).

I see the benefit of a warning but I don't see a way to make it work reliably.
How do you set a practical threshold for the warning? 25%, 50% or 75% of files changed?
What if the ransomware just has started and only encrypted 15% of your files?
There is no way to detect unwanted changes in an ...

Your drive seems to have some corrupted sectors. What happens when copying these files manually from Explorer?

What about the preview? Don't you check the list for changes anyway? I don't just blindly hit "Synchronize".

Donating is not paying, but you can donate as much as you want.

But why?! I'm sure there is no need for that since a simple symlink works in most scenarios:

Dropbox and GDrive already sync in real-time so just link them:

That's not quite true since the root of the problem is the Most Troublesome Protocol (MTP). Even the Windows Explorer is crashing when trying to copy/move/rename files on a MTP-device. Setting file dates is also problematic on WP:

So here are my questions:
- what is the minimum donation to qualify for the safe version?
- are previous donors not eligible for the safe version?
- for how many future updates does a donation guarantee access to the safe version?

will I need to make another donation every time I want to get a ...

FreeFileSync has no issues detecting moved files and folders, but this requires a database file as a reference.Zenju

You are right, I tested that several years ago and it seems to be outdated as everything is moved correctly now. Great job!

It all makes sense, thanks for the honest answer! I guess a clear statement on the ad-bundled setup would have been better in first place than just "Automatically check consistency of FreeFileSync installation" as a reason.
Too bad it's unusable as a portable app in cloud storage then, so I'll just ...

Well it's not impossible to do it at all but it's quite hard to get it working reliably. It seems easy to make the right changes if you 'know" what has changed, while it's not as simple when you have to rely only on the snapshot of the previous file trees.
Some good programs have these feature but ...

No comment on the checks and source code? Are these questions inappropriate or just tiring?

But I couldn't find the part handling this "install.dat" in source code
This part is handled in the installer, which is not open source. As for the installation failure, is this still reproducible? If yes, I'd like to analyze what's going on.

But FFS complains if the file is missing or its ...

Just for the record, I don't know what you are trying to hide, but apparently you secretly added some code to record (or collect?) user's information. What exactly it is for, we have no idea yet.
Because for this part of the code, you deliberately hid it and did not put into the source code you ...
