I would appreciate this option between "depth" and "breadth" synching. I still haven't upgraded from version 9.9 and recommending not to do so to my colleagues because we all use "depth" in our workflow.

It matters because I am using FFS with an LTO tape system so basically every 5tb it switches unto the next tape. For my workflow I must keep all associated files of a folder within the same tape and in order. What FFS did (what I call "problem") is that it started splitting a lot of my folders into ...

Hey, Thanks for replying.
I did some more tests and I traced this change/problem to version 10.0.

I just removed the current version of FFS and installed 9.6, indeed this problem is solved.

If there is a way to change or disable the option for FFS so it won't sync first all folders and copy based on file size, that would be great. I almost gave up on this software.

I left my FFS over night to copy files, and once again, even after changing the "Comparison" variant to "File time and Size" it copied my in order of Size and not folder order/content. So it wasn't this setting that caused the problem, please help.

I believe this gave priority to the file size in all folders, so that's why my syncs ...

Hey,

Since the latest update I have noticed of a few changes that became big problem to my workflow using FFS:

1. When syncing in "Update", FFS first opens ALL FOLDERS that were supposed to be synced, and then populates them with the files. Is there a way to cancel this way so FFS will go one-step ...
