Re: REQUEST: ability to RENAME
The program is specifically created for backup/sync. It does not support more features than it is designed to do. What you want is completely separate from the function of FFS. You can right-click > show in explorer > then rename from there.

Re: Suggest: filter file to move
Both of your posts are filled with grammar mistakes that make it difficult to interpret your issues.
"only the deleted and new files can be viewed copied" what??
"folder I want to move a filter on RIGHT" Move a filter???

Re: Sync Date and Time of source to destination only
File date/timestamps should be preserved under the right conditions. Folder date/timestamps can't though, due to the way Windows creates directories.

Re: [Feature request] Compare images by pixel instead of byte
I would disagree with that. The goal of the program is to sync a source and destination, not deduplication. There are many tools with pre-tested algorithms for that

Re: Real time sync multiple directories
You would sync: 1-2 2-3 3-4 4-5 5-6 6-1 Not pretty, and will take 5*idledelay seconds to propagate through all server locations Or sync: 1-2 1-3 1-4 1-5 1-6 Which is probably better since it only takes at most 2*idledelay seconds to propagate and only needs 5 sync jobs in one batch.

Re: Cannot write sync.ffs_lock file error
Admin permissions doesn't necessarily give you permissions to do anything anywhere. You either need to give yourself full control on the directory, or uncheck the option in FFS that locks a directory during sync

You cannot do what you are trying to do. RTS monitors the folders in the sync and will start a batch job when it detects a change or when it is connected. mtp DOES NOT support this, so RTS will never see the phone connect to the computer. This is not a problem or feature missing from RTS, it is a fe...

Re: Overlooked bug – sync order
The major issue is your spotty connection, not the program.
What stops you from starting the sync again? It should restart where it left off.
You could also temporarily exclude all but the newest 20% of files and sync them in smaller batches.

Use RTS. It will monitor the two directories. Once you plug it in, it will see the directory, then trigger a sync after the idle delay time you set in RTS.

Re: Strange display: Logoff batch run only on v1903 Windows 10
I'm guessing that is caused by the method that Windows is shutting down. It looks like either the display driver is unloaded, or dwm.exe(desktopwindowmanager) is partially shut down. You may create a batch script that contains two lines. The first that runs the sync and then "shutdown -s -t -0&...

Re: Mirror Sync and Folders not Being Deleted on the Right Side - Don't understand what is happening
When you set those exclusions, that stops it from moving, copying, and deleting those exclusion. FFS didn't even attempt to detect any differences for those three directories, it just lets them be. It didn't detect that it should delete them on the destination because you explicitly told it not to e...

Re: RealTimeSync cannot recoginze windows symbolic link
Arthur, monitoring a directory via a SYMLINK is not supported by Windows. It has nothing to do with FFS or RTS. RTS change detection =/= FFS difference detection. The problem here lies in what triggers the sync. FFS uses user interaction to trigger it, where RTS monitors changes to trigger a sync. s...

As long as FFS uses the basic file manipulation, it won't be possible. As Plerry stated, it's using the same process that a user would when manually syncing files. It is just able to create a "table of contents" of differences and can enact the copy/move/delete commands much faster. It wou...

The two pictures do show the same file being transferred. I'm guess whatever you are syncing from/to does not handle pausing in the middle very well, or at all.

What is a "long time". There are a few things that it has to so before it can pause. On a 1mb/s connection, I could see it being an issue. I sometimes have to wait a few seconds even on gigabit local transfers.
