It worked because at that moment there were still original copies of the files
on the desktop, ie. my MOVE was actually a COPY.

I have worked around the problem by doing a disk cleanup, deleting all
temporary files, this makes any existing REAL files that have been moved work
properly. From now ...

Yes, certainly, many times.
May I ask where RealTimeSync stores its configuration (such as, which batch
files are attached to what directories) so that I can check that.

I only have one command line parameter in the REAL file, that is the path to
the batch file. All three files, GUI, BATCH and REAL were made and saved to
the desktop and seen to be working by placing some new files in the source
directory and seeing that they were backed up to the target.
Then I ...

I've abandoned WTS now, it always was a waste of time for doing any task.
I'm having a go at RealtimeSync now, which seems to work once and then fail,
see my thread in the other forum.

...and I've also just noticed, that when you draft a set of three FFS files on
the desktop, get them working, move them to a directory, and change the
command line path to that new directory, running the REAL file still looks for
the now non-existent files on the desktop.

This is surely a flaw ...

Aha! I didn't know it was an XML file.
Here it is:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FreeFileSync XmlType="REAL">
<Directories>
<Item>\\SD30G2\Users\Admin\Documents\Accounts</Item>
</Directories>
<Commandline>C:\users\Accounts\Dropbox\Accounts.ffs_batch</Commandline>
<Delay>10 ...

I have set up a Realtime batch to watch a folder using a particular FFS batch.
I made a mistake in the first FFS batch I made, so I deleted this and made
another one, and changed the reference in the Realtime batch to the correct
one.

The Realtime batch, when run, looked for the deleted FFS batch ...

None of the filters that I have made work at all. The gui files will only run
for all files in the directory.

First, unchecking unwanted files one at a time using the check boxes does not
work, it's always the whole folder that starts to update (luckily it tells me
this first and I can cancel it ...

...Update: I put a point instead of an underline in the file names here. This
was not wrong in the actual files.

I'm having problems making a batch file run in Windows Task Scheduler. I am
unclear what the exact syntax of this should be.
In the "Create Batch Job" section of the FreeFileSync program, the example
syntax says:
FreeFileSync.exe <job name>.ffs_batch
I have a job called SyncCurrentSheet.ffs.batch ...
