Perhaps. No idea.

Blind work-around: press Space bar to "accept" and begin syncing. Then, in the new sync window which starts running, where the progress plot is, the window is now still a thin bar, but it becomes *manually resizeable*. Grab the bottom edge of it, and now I can see the progress!

Screenshots:

After ...

Update: I just installed the Donation edition of FreeFileSync 12.5 on Ubuntu 20.04 and am seeing this again, making the program completely unusable since I can't resize the sync window!

Restarting did not help.

Any suggestions?

I have the FreeFileSync 12.4 donation edition.

OS: Ubuntu 22.04

The main FreeFileSync window looks great! But when I go to Help --> About, the popup window is just an unusable sliver, and I can't see any text in it.

If I click the settings gear, it is also a sliver of a window, but it is ...

Note: I'm asking around on this one. I really just want FreeFileSync 9.7 to run in Ubuntu 14.04. I don't care how I get it done.

Thanks for your help! That info about adding the #include was very helpful. I made several minor changes to the source code, following that example you sent me, and I got it to fully build.

See my executable here now for FreeFileSync 9.7 in Ubuntu 14.04: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy ...

Getting this too:

$ make

wxWidgets 3.1.0 installed. Now I'm back to getting the original "warn_static not declared" errors as indicated above in my 1st post.

Next problem possibly found. I need to update wxWidgets from 3.0.3 to 3.1.0.

http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0.3/classwx_list_box.html - notice class wxListBox does NOT have the GetTopItem() public method, but version 3.1.0 does: http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.1.0/classwx_list_box.html

UPDATE: in my long long long process of trying to resolve dependencies and get things compiled (including gcc) so that I can compile FreeFileSync, I think I may have some bad object files or something as remnants of a previous `make` attempt sitting in my FreeFileSync build folder.

So....I removed ...

FreeFileSync 9.7 source code
running in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
g++ (GCC) 7.2.0

What I really want is the latest version of FreeFileSync in my Ubuntu 14.04 distribution. I decided to try building from source since only up to FreeFileSync version 7.7 is available via `sudo apt install freefilesync`.

When ...

@Zenju, same problem here when compiling on Ubuntu 14.04 with:

FFSync source 9.7
gcc 7.2

Any idea how to get it to compile? The Ubuntu 14.04 repository only has up to version 7.7 or so so I'm trying to compile from source to get the latest FreeFileSync version.

UPDATE: I just opened a new thread ...

UPDATE: If I navigate using the IP address instead of the mapped drive letter it *does* work.

Ex: "\\192.99.99.99\pi\1GB\backup.ffs_gui" works, but "Y:\pi\1GB\backup.ffs_gui" does NOT.

Looks like a bug. Can you fix this please?

Free File Sync won't let me open up network files that are mapped as shared network drives in Windows (ex: Samba shares from a Linux computer).

- If I try to open the mapped drive from Free File Sync the mapped network drive doesn't exist in the GUI window to open up FreeFileSync script files ...

I think I found the problem (for me at least). I navigated to the *source* for the file that would not copy, and when I right clicked it and went to "Properties" I see the following very interesting statement that I've never seen before. Running FreeFileSync as an Administrator does NOT fix the ...

Bug report: FreeFileSync does not work with mapped network drive letters.

When I click Browse to add a folder path, I cannot add mapped network drives. Instead, I have to click through the "Network Locations" or type the IP address directly, ex: "\\192.168.0.1\myFolder" instead of "Y:\myFolder ...

Bump. Referring to my 1st post: I raise my ante to $25 Euros.

Certainly doable, but I'm not sure how many users would benefit from this rather specific requirement.

All users using SFTP would benefit I think....it's a good security practice to give people the option whether or not to save passwords. Imagine if Google Chrome or Internet Explorer or Firefox ...

FKPhil, Paypal is the de facto standard as far as reputable online donating and paying goes. It's trusted by pretty much everybody. If you don't have a Paypal account, I recommend it. It's as reputable as a bank itself. You can even use it like a bank account as a matter of fact, and directly ...

Bump. What do you think?

First off, EXCELLENT software, many thanks!
I wish the portable version remained no cost too, but that's my problem. I see it's not no cost in 8.7.

Now for my real concern:
I am an admin on a shared Windows computer. Other admins use the same Windows account (it's a shared development ...

+1. I'd really like to use FreeFileSync on the Raspberry Pi too.
