FreeFileSync Forum

That's awesome! Works like a charm, thank you!
BTW, I'd suggest you to add another pattern --
/mnt/<mount-name>/
-- because the /mnt folder in Linux is explicitly meant for this purpose -- to mount there devices and filesystems -- the only difference between /mnt and /media is that to the /media ...

BTW, why wouldn't FFS add a "job start" event to job log? Currently, a job of an in-sync directory pair contains only two events:
10:31:10 AM Info Comparison finished: 52,920 items found
10:31:11 AM Info Completed successfully
IMO, it'd be nice to see not only the end, but also the beginning of a ...

Or maybe it'd be better if FFS on Linux would automatically detect that a path starts with /run/user/\d+/gvfs/ and treat every path matching the pattern /run/user/(?<UID>\d+)/gvfs/(?<share>.*?)/.* as a separate device? IMO, it'd be really cool!
Of course, this won't solve the problem that local ...

Is it somehow possible to help FreeFileSync distinguish different devices on Linux, so that it could automatically scan them in 2 parallel threads?
I mean, FreeFileSync does already know how to distinguish drives on Windows (by drive letter) and (S)FTP servers (by their addresses). But in Ubuntu ...

thank you, I understood now!

it's a pity one cannot exclude some folders except some subfolders e. g.

include /projects/
exclude /projects/old/
include /projects/old/*.important.txt
include /projects/old/important/

in theory, this is not hard to implement, as simply the more nested a folder is ...

the last example provided in the docs on filtering unfortunately doesn't work in Ubuntu :( Example: Exclude a sub folder except for certain files

Set up two folder pairs with the same source and target paths but with distinct local filters:
Folder pair 1; local exclude filter: \SubFolder\
Folder ...
