Wow, that was fast!
Thanks.

Some completion dialog box have an auto-close switch. With 11.4, even if you tick them, it's not remembered and appeared unticked the next time they are used. I can't be more precised, it was very annoying so I went back to 11.3... which made me lost all my backups. I had to got the directory where ...

Even if start as admin (Windows 10), I get an error saying I'm not allowed to read these rights.
What am I missing?

Thanks, I did not know this was an option.

Hi, I'm using FF 11.1 on Windows 10. I have files on the source which are read-only, and I was expecting the mirror function to duplicate these rights. It does not, the "deny" property in the security property tab is not set like it is on the source. Is this a bug, a setting, intentional o...

I'll to try with the device tape name. But that would not be enough: in case of a tape is detected as destination, FS should write a header with the name of the files, and when you insert the tape and click on the name of the backup, read the header and display on the right panel the name of the fil...

It would be very nice if destination could be a tape device.
Of course, the range of options should be very restricted, just update without a pre-check of the destination.

Hi, FreeFileSync is an incredible tool, I want first to thank everybody who made it. There is just one thing that I think could be easier to do: scheduling. Currently, correct me if I am wrong, you have to create a batch file and use the Windows scheduler. Ideally, one should be able to right click ...

Thanks Zenju, that's interesting information. Then, I don't know what's happening: when using a Windows file manager (xplorer2 in my case), I see sometimes files with the same size and same timestamp, and yet FFS makes a copy that is not needed. I thought it might be a ms time discrepancy, but with ...

Never mind, looking at the Daylight Saving Time link, I found out it means 2 hours! Please consider handling seconds as a tolerance as a potential improvement for a next release: when syncing between a NAS under Linux and Windows, 2 files that seem to have the same time-stamp and size are synced any...

Hi,

I want to ignore Time Shifts less than 2 seconds when syncing.

Apparently, I cannot enter a value such as 00:00:02.

If I enter just the number 2, will it mean 2 seconds, or 2 minutes?

Hi, First, kudos for an incredible software! I have a suggestion for a future release: implement multipart SFTP transfers. In this day and age of fiber access, multipart transfers can increase speed 20 times. For example, I have a Gb Internet access, and straight download from some filesharing sites...
