OK - thanks for letting me know. I will work it out one day ...

Sorry for the delay in replying - thanks for this useful enhancement.

Could my lost-file problem be caused by the following? Left click on a job in the configuration panel to select it. Move the mouse slightly so it is positioned over the overview panel (which leaves the selected job highlighted ...

OK – thanks. Your words of advice are sound and I did test my setup before using on live data. However, I am not going to test every piece of software functionality and after proving my backups were being created as expected, I moved onto ‘real data’. I don’t have a problem that the software is not ...

srjones67 you seem to be getting rather overheated about this which is really unnecessary and does not help at all. I have never offered any profanity about this, which thankfully you realised and corrected in your later post. Nor have I ever made any comment about other software being installed as ...

I accept that in this case I am but a user. However, my whole working life has been in software development, so I do have a very good understanding of how the development life-cycle works. I also acknowledge that many users think software developers deliver useless software and many developers think ...

I would be very disturbed by a simple, undocumented command ...

It might be a set up issue, I will check. However, it was a simple Mirror of four folders from a hard drive to an external drive, set up to run daily via a Windows schedule and was working fine. I was trying to amend it to run on 'PC start-up' and decided to delete the batch job and recreate it in ...

No, it was as I said - simply deleted the batch job within the Configuration Window and I could see the files disappearing as they were deleted.

Yes please - I hoped it was clear from my post on 2013-04-08 above and my separate email to you. If I have a batch job set up to backup to an external drive and have this connected and then delete the batch job via the Configuration window of FreeFileSync, should I expect to lose both my original ...

Any developer or other comments on this behaviour?

Had a similar issue. I was using FileSync and had a problem getting it to run on a windows schedule (at start up). So, whilst in the FileSync program, I decided to 'start again' with the sync jobs and deleted them (bottom left window - configuration). This also took out my hard drive files and my ...
