FreeFileSync Forum

Anyway, it could be more easy to begin changing the aspect of the text one by one. I think that those informations of rich text must be included inside the .ffs_gui file itself.
It should be easy because its a kind of XML.
I like your font config idea and sure, storage of font details would likely ...

Nice idea. Anything is possible! How much effort is another.

If the text component being used already supports character formatting (rich text) then perhaps not too difficult. Otherwise who knows.

Grouping is the key here is it not? Perhaps some sort of grouping idea could be made note of for ...

All I want to do is use Real Time Sync to back up my Photos and Documents folders from my internal (I) to external (J )drive. I don't understand what commands to use. Is there a simple noob-friendly manual? Thanks.
Not so much a "noob-friendly manual". More like the following: install program ...

Have you tried FTP? I've had good success with FTP to sync Android tablets - not tried with a Galaxy S7.

files that exist on both paths AND require synchronizationDavid.P

Doesn't FFS already handle this very neatly. After a compare it only shows actions, the other "threlve zillion files" are automatically hidden unless you click the "Show files that are equal" button.

Is there a way to "uncheck all" and then check only the items that are currently wanted to execute?
When I select "Exclude All" I no longer have the option to check the individual items I want to execute.
Try this...
- <right+click> and choose "Exclude All".
- In the lower panel, a "View Type ...

...sync my PC with my LapTop and vice versa...
Often done by having the two computers located within the same LAN (local area network) configured in such a way that they are visible to each other. I suggest also that this forum is not the place to ask such a question. And even if i wanted to, i ...

Zargron, thanks for responding. I looked at the two gear icons (odd, one says local sync settings, the other says local comparison setting, but they go to the same place.). don't see a way to tell ffs to mirror or update in a particular direction, which may change from sync to sync, without ...

I agree - a little disappointing. I'm running version 8.5. It has menu option to un-tick "Check automatically once a week", (under "Help" menu). Appears to set <LastOnlineCheck> 35539 </LastOnlineCheck> in GlobalSettings.xml.

I set computer date back a few months started FFS and the update message ...

Sorry if you've already tried this... A feature i really like in FFS is the opportunity to set "local comparison, filter and synchronization" settings, (the little buttons between folder pairs). In other words, you can have special filter & synchronization settings for a couple of folder pairs ...

Yep - you want Update...
- Update should NOT change anything in SOURCE location.
- It copies new and modified files to DESTINATION location.
- It does NOT delete any files from either location.

See this link: https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic=schedule-a-batch-job

If using windows, to sync in the background at a scheduled time, save your settings as a "batch job" then create a task in the windows "Task Scheduler" to make it run whenever you want.

Have you already sorted this out? If not, have you set the scheduled task security options appropriately?
Perhaps tried "run with highest privileges"?

Easy... Use the time span option available from within Filter synchronization settings.
Set it to "This month".

Well, you could run FFS from a script. When you save your batch job, perhaps set:

Handle Errors =Stop
On Completion =Close progress dialogue

If you are using windows, create a BAT file that contains something like this:
@echo off
REM Run FFS batch job as specified by first parameter ...

The primary purpose of FreeFileSync (FFS) is to duplicate the file/folder structure of one location with the file/folder structure of another location. In other words, make the content a source location, exactly the same as a destination location. Your question seems to indicate that you want FFS to ...

I'm loving FFS and also feel "Limiting Versions" would be a very valuable feature to add. IMHO, as is often the case in this type of scenario, a small but significant change might accommodate 90% of user requirements. BTW: i haven’t used an edition of FFS that contains versioning. Needless to say ...
