Final beta works great!

Off topic - I ended up playing with the parallel options, gained about a minute, cut compare times by almost a third :-) Very sweet.

I've sent you a dump.

Here's a test version that implements the FFS 10.2 traversal API (which is only slightly different from the later versions). Does this "fix" the hang on your network share?

I was not hopeful that this ...

BTW when it hangs, can you manually access the network share? Zenju, 05 Jun 2019, 15:56

It's *not* always the same folder/file.

Yes I can access the share. I've also seen hangs on the local usb drive file name being displayed at the top of the screen.

Yes permanent hang, 100% reproducible each time with versions 10.2-10.12. The help/about menu won't come up and I tried leaving it for over an hour just in case.

I sent you an email with dump info.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Using 64-bit Windows (8.1) with FreeFileSync version 10.12 the compare stage freezes/hangs/stalls consistently when comparing the 120,554th file.

It is a compare of time and size, mirror style sync. The source is a Samba share and the destination is a local USB external.

It will stall on either ...
