Re: Flat versus tree file structure

After working on other syncs with 10.24 I recognized a thing.

For log files, of installers or the FFS log, its crucial that it contains repetitive lines and characters.
Thus makes it possible to read the line even during scrolling or sometimes even jumping (PgDw/Up). Also to spot errors while ...

Re: FileSync copying over all files AGAIN

Okay.
You could maybe choose compare file size instead of date. By date is not always the best. Example, my mp3/Video-Tagging software is set to not changeing the dates after editing. Nor does the size change beacuse of the fix header-size, thus for my music-archive I have to use by bit.

Re: Install Advertisement instead of Web Block

I guess the payout of the advertisment is linked to the number of downloads of the installer.
So there have to be two installers discriminating that. What for sure is creating confusion which to use bla bla.
Or FFS is calling home during installation.

Re: Flat versus tree file structure

For the example you show I suggest.
- left side item view, right side relative path
- change column order to everything before the path column
e.g size | date | relative path

Does this save you space viewing through one line of output?
