If the Icon background colour stays the same as it is now your custom icons JPringle are not bad.

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 scroll...

In the screen, how it looks for me.
Yes, even with goodwill to adds non show up, because the source of this adds is to say 'evil'. Thus will not be unblocked on any circumstances, sorry.

In an everything open test-environment 3 show up and you have to look for the right link.

Right JDB. I don´t see any button or advertise on the official site https://freefilesync.org/download.php
Everything else your fault.

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. It might he...

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.

What is the date shown in FFS? Anything else doesn´t matter for FFS! 1 or 2 hour differenes can be ignored through a compare setting. A screenshot of the compare could help. All in all, if you came from an clean/empty cloud you should have uploaded everything through FFS and not manually to create a...

What I say is that there is no need to use green and purple to specify the right/left direction. What synchronization does is create, delete or update files so just highlighting right and left modified files is enough. And doing this by using the green and red, which are associated with OK/KO warni...

O_o ??
Conflicts are a thunder
Deletions are a bin with a red minus
Green is from left to right
Purple is from right to left

What are you talking about?

I´m not using/doing anything else since Windows 98.
Computers hiding those are freaking me out.

Have you previously already installed the non donation edition? Then of course it will replace the free version. Also files in the temporary extraction folder. A downloaded file never starts installing himself, especially on Linux. To install software outside of the 'Repos' you have to use the termi...

Long ago we had a machine with not enough drive space. Probably months later we found out some folders are empty. Arguing the lack of space caused it. So the moment the space lacking machine synced back deleted it. (Although the folder names itself existed) Have you checked the recycler? Is all move...

The software wouldn´t stop running, you were just surprised the folder looks 'normal'. My single Apps from PortableApps.com, I never used the package, even don´t have a desktop.ini in their folders. Desktop.inis are machine and OS related. To have it copied in backups is fine, syncs between devices ...

The tree layout can be better, but the details are not worked out, yet.
From that, a beta testing group to get this done would have been best from the beginning.
Now this topic is here for that.

The *.ffs_db database is not available. That after syncing both sides have the same name is correct. Right now 2 Scenarios: 1. - Choose to delete on side with old folder name and all what´s in - sync new folder and all what´s in Even if most of the files in the folder are already the same they need ...

I had a situation where it would have come in handy if it was possible to change the folder name of one side (pressing F2), because it was changed but not recognized by this compare run. Thus FFS wanted to create the old foldername on one side and the new name on the other side. Creating duplicates ...

Was the word-wrap of the log files changed between 9.1 and 10.24? The newest 'Notepad' is now capable of the unix format. But for downwards compatibility it should have stayed for windows version on the windows word-wrap ( \r\n ). Right now it´s useless to me to be able to open the log out from the ...

That Musenkas cutout looks like that is just by chance.
Look on my screen, for a part it looks exactly the same.

Relative path or full path isn´t any close to only name view. Or you´re suggested change.

Some software like PortableApps use it for settings. Never heard of that. Nevertheless kind of dump from such a software. It´s for the lookalike and MUI-Setting of the folder not for a software. They use *.ini files yes, that´s something different. In case you mean that. And are not excluded throug...

This red line is interesting. As we say 'ein roter Faden' -> "A red yarn" [to follow].

from Directory Opus 12

An 10.24 to 11 comparison with comments.

The tree layout has still optical clutter. What, is written by now in the screenshot.

Any reasons to keep it in the default exclusion list? For backup purposes it´s fine to include the 'desktop.ini'. But synching to USB or between different machines/OSs it can cause problems. It´s up to you which preset is better. Uprgrading from an older version it´s in the default exclude list. In...

Musenka Is this folder jumping into second row after scrolling down? This is what I see here. After all the Fuss, I think the biggest problem with tree view was the right to left alignment to always show the hole filename regardless of window and column size situation. 11 is deffinetly an improvemen...

Musenka
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?

With other syncs/systems nearly no file is in his row. Folder the other way round is truncated if to long file is in first row. After reading this thread (From the naming not related to the problem thus it is the reason) moving the column size does change the alignment. How it looks is obscure and n...

Musenka For the version before 10.25, did you see you can change the size of the columns? Regardless of the text garbage from path every truncation of file name can be eliminated with that. What Zenju now did is, just replacing the pathname with white space without reducing the horizontal space need...

In case of an error or power failure while synchronising, deleting prior copying is finished would create more anger. Make enough space free before you synchronise. You can also delete using the context menu in freefilesync. If it is a SSD/M.2 there is no fragmentation, or better no speed loss. You ...

Only as long as I don´t need the filepath or relative filepath. Thus, NO. The highlighting goes from right to left now. In our language we are reading from left to right hence we look from left to right. To adjust to it, a little maybe. Highlight where the size and time stamp is located isn´t that u...

Oh, another feature that´s lost with 10.25. Bad really bad how this update went. This major change should have needed more reality testing. Zenju, I think you should seriously consider to recall this update or release a 10.25b without tree layout, before losing more reputation and support. Until the...
