Just in case it makes a difference, the files being synced on my Pixel 2 are stored on the inbuilt storage, whereas the files on my Tab A are stored on a MicroSD card.

Have tried a couple of ways of adding a ".nomedia" file, both through Windows and on the devices themselves, but no luck so far in even creating the file. If a number of manual steps have to be done (and presumably undone to remove the files after the sync) then it rather defeats the purpose of ...

The exact same sync with my Pixel 2 only freezes for about 30 seconds. You can see below that a few operations happen at the beginning, but when it gets to deleting the second file it freezes until something gives about 30 seconds later (or 10 minutes later with my Tab A).

Thank you for the 10.6 beta Zenju - I've tried it out but unfortunately the problem is still there, it may even be slightly worse. The time taken for the issue to clear with my Samsung Galaxy Tab A is now close to 10 minutes of the sync being frozen when trying to delete the second file. A ...

This actually occurs whenever FFS tries to delete multiple files over MTP. I have this problem with both a Pixel 2 (Android Pie) and a Galaxy Tab A (Android Oreo).

If you leave FFS alone (i.e. frozen) for long enough something eventually clicks and the sync then continues. When syncing with the Tab ...

Have just picked up a Samsung Galaxy Tab A (Android Oreo) - exactly the same problem as with the Pixel 2 (Android Pie). I'm using FFS 10.4 and FFS hangs when trying to delete the second file on the device via MTP sync.

If you leave FFS alone (i.e. frozen) for long enough something eventually clicks ...

I'm still seeing the same issue with version 9.6. Is there a formal way to submit a bug report? Would be nice to see this fixed.

I have discovered that if I wait a long time (4+ minutes) after the software locks up, then it does eventually come back to life and run the synchronisation to completion ...

So I've tried playing a bit more to narrow down when the bug occurs. It appears that when a comparison identifies that there are multiple items to be deleted on the MTP device, when the synchronisation is subsequently run the first item deletes fine, and then FFS hangs / locks-up when deleting the ...

I'm finding the same thing with a Pixel 2. Would very much like to see this fixed as it makes FFS un-usable for synchronising with MTP devices. Can anyone recommend an alternative?
