In general, FFS is using system colors everywhere. The only reason why "Dark Mode" support for FFS on Windows 10 is not available right now is that Microsoft has decided to limit its support to Windows Store apps, while leaving Win32 apps out in the dark.


Another [possibly] straight-forward ...

Of course, one possible solution is [for the author] to simply choose a dark color scheme and implement it manually, with no reference to Windows or to either its color schemes or its color palettes, as I have done for some of my own software, e.g. CustomMenu (see screenshots at https://github.com ...

I had exactly the same problem...

This is now working perfectly as a scheduled RealTimeSync.exe task.
In a nutshell, you have to monitor the folders one level up from any folders that will be involved in the ...

Thanks Zenju (and Plerry). I'd forgotten all about include filters. Real time moves between all the required folders is now working exactly as I'd hoped, resulting in server-side moves rather than new uploads. Great stuff. Thanks.

Hopefully this isn't a duplicate of an existing request; apologies if it is.
It's also possible FFS already does this but I've got it configured incorrectly.
I'm happy to be pointed in the right direction if that's the case.

In a nutshell, I'd like to be able to move files between all monitored ...

Thanks Zenju. I'll reset those options back to the defaults.

I've noticed, particularly with multi-threaded jobs, that the reported info about which file is being processed, the number of files processed so far and, by extension, the number of files remaining, either isn't correct or at the least appears to be misleading.

Here's one such example from a job ...

As an addendum, here's an export of my current HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors
However, I cannot by any means guarantee that simply applying these colour values will immediately make your setup look like mine. As I said above, it was a trial-and-error process, a bit like trying to fix the ...

No, no source code change. It was a long hard trial-and-error process of customising my entire Windows 10 Pro setup to look like this, which in a very small nutshell was...

1. Put Windows 10 into Dark Mode.
2. Put Windows Explorer into Dark Mode.
2. Experiment with altering the RGB colours in ...

You mean, like this... :P

Excellent news. Thanks Zenju.

That's definitely resolved it. What also threw me at 3am this morning, is that rclone correctly reports those rogue files as having a modified date in the 1600s, whereas the Google Drive web interface shows the 1 Jan 1970 Unix epoch date. This may be their response to (like FFS) also not being able ...

Hold your horses !!
Isn't that just typical. I took one last look from a different viewpoint using rclone.

There were two shortcuts (.lnk) in the root of the B folder that have the 1600 date as the last modified. Goodness knows how they got that date in the first place. I've just deleted them and ...

I'm really hoping someone can help me resolve this problem.
FFS was working brilliantly for me, but it's now completely unusable.

I use it solely to keep my secondary hard drive (B:) and my Google Drive in sync.
I also use other software, such as rclone, and DriveSync (on Android) to administer my ...

This works for me on Windows 10 Pro, although I have to close and reopen the dropdown list after each press of the DEL key; I can't keep the list open and repeatedly select items in the list and press DEL, otherwise all it does is just clear the edit box and leaves the list item intact. However ...
