Re: Please add option to play sound when a sync error happens

I appreciate all the suggested work-arounds :)

But a new error sound feature would address my concern the best.

Re: Please add option to play sound when a sync error happens

Thanks for the info.

But if I let it "ignore" the errors, then I still would not know that there were error(s) until 2 hours later when I checked on it. (and if it ignores errors, does it report what files were not synced?)

And if I let it "retry", then it could get into a loop (again for 2 hours ...

Please add option to play sound when a sync error happens

I was doing a very long (multi-hour) sync with an FTP site. So, I left it running on a pc on another desk. When I checked on it 2 hours later, I had found that it was displaying an error dialog with "Ignore, retry, cancel" buttons. What was bad was that apparently this error happened only 10 mins ...

Re: How to hide files that exist on right but not on left in "Update" mode?

Thank you! Works like a charm :)

Also, when I first run freesync and do a compare the "save" button is greyed out as expected because I have not made any changes to the settings.

But then I toggle off the filter you mentioned, the save button is still grey so it doesn't think any setting was ...

How to hide files that exist on right but not on left in "Update" mode?

Hi,

I setup an "Update" mode to copy files from drive A (left) to B (right).

After the "update" copies any new/updated files from drive A to drive B, I delete the files from Drive A.

So, in a sense, I backed up the files that were on drive A to drive B, then deleted the files on drive A because ...

Re: FreeFileSync is AWESOME!

I have a Pixel 4a running android 10.

There is one issue that I thought was a reliability problem, but it turned out to be a security feature.

Basically, I have a desktop docking/charging station for my phone. And I want to do a sync when it's docked.
But many times the USB connection state of ...

FreeFileSync is AWESOME!

I downloaded freefilesync and made the donation months ago.

But I actually just started using it and boy is this one great app :)

My old phone has an MicroSD memory card slot, so if my phone died, I could just take out the memory card and get my stuff from it.

But my new phone doesn't have a ...
