FreeFileSync Forum

Please may I "bump" this as no reply to date and newer topics are being answered and I am worried it may be overlooked.
Is it possible and are you willing to allow hiding of the name column in a future version release.
Many thanks

Why can't I deselect (the Greyed out) "Name" column. I ask because if I select (as I always do) to display "Full Path", Date and Size columns then the "Name" column is superfluous as the file name is included in the "Full Path" column. Consequently space is wa...

Thanks Zenju :) 1) Yes a local configuration issue is what I found blurb on but have no idea what. I have noticed Window 7 (x64) and my system do not like one of my USB ScanDisk Flash sticks often causing a Kernal-PnP Warning message but nothing ever goes wrong. It always safely removes but still I ...

Thanks for the very fast reply and insight to your thinking. Much appreciated. I agree making them obvious initially is a good move coz I noticed them and had a look. Usually for my needs, FFS has always works very well (basic home PC)and much of the great work you do on important features for many ...

Hi Zenju :), ONLY WHEN YOU HAVE TIME, please can you advise me. 1) Windows Event Viewer VSS Error Messages When I open FFS and run my configurations the backup always works fine but (as today) I occasionally get VSS Windows Event Viewer Error. (SEE BELOW for one today) It definitely is in response t...

Hi Zenju, Thanks for the latest version of FFS. Just an enquiry of interest (and certainly NOT A COMPLAINT). Is there any chance, in future, that you may give Users an Option to choose whether to display the SFTP buttons or not. I ask purely, so that the GUI can be a little less busy for those who n...

I would advise the maintainers tomove to another provider e.g. Github, since Sourceforge is know to perform feats of Account hijacking and Malware insertion. Source: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2015/q2/194 There seems to be further movement on this issue suggesting Sourceforge are backtracking on ...

My Apologies jonrichco for not responding faster. I have just lived through an extremely uncomfortable day. I live in NE Thailand and in a Monsoon storm yesterday a large tree fell about 200 metres down my small road completely blocking it and taking out the electricity for the whole road for 26 hou...

gdhm: I agree with Zenju on both points (i) I would not turn off UAC - I only see it about twice per week, and I have c 100 programs installed under 8.1 and (ii) system backup every week seems like overkill. I take an image of any new computer that I buy before and after killing crapware, then take...

:) Hi Zenju, I am happy its a "simple misunderstanding" (probably due to cultural and translation). You have always been helpful and pleasant to me in the past. I looked at your link and :LOL: I agree I would have been confused if I (who uses an Administrator account) got such a message an...

I regret you felt the need for apparent sarcasm in your 2 replies to me Zenju. I apologize that I, an ordinary 63 year old retired Home User who loves FFS, sort advice from more knowledgable Forum members rather than take a risk and guess. "..If you don't know what these are, then you don't nee...

I apologize to the many knowledgeable Forum members, I am no expert. My setting is: UNTICKED for "Copy NTFS Permissions" but I am concerned this is not the wisest setting. My User Account is "ADMINISTRATOR" I barely understand NTFS permissions so please bare with me. Am I correct...

Yes I agree with jonrichco and found this a few downloads back.

The top right download link is purely a link ("https://freefilesync.org/download.php" that recycles to the page the user is already, on which is pointless

Hi Zenju, Sorry only just noticed your post (that will teach me to remember to tick the M box. Seems to work great and as i wanted after one sync test 2 (nitpicking) observations i) I would have the context menu that pops up when clicking up down button with a slightly different order Move up Move d...

Terrific and Thanks Zenju :)

Thanks Zenju :)

I like to see all my pairs (currently a Maximum of 10) when I select a config file as it is easier to analyse. I appreciate use the mouse cursor to increase the height to show all pairs but why is this necessary? If I have more than 6 pairs FFS shows 6½ by default and introduces a up/down scroll bar...

1) I too would like have a GUI-feature to move the directory pairs up and down. The reason being that in one of my configurations. I have 10 pairs. Some are from the same partition or initial root (i.e. C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\...., some are not. In recent months I have added new pairs but I w...

Currently not and I'm not sure if it is needed. What about simply saving a config and naming it "default"? Wouldn't this already solve the requirement? Alternatively it would be possible to programmatically bind the "New" button to a special configuration named `<new>` on GUI si...

Is there a way of a User to set his own DEFAULT FFS Synchronization options so that when a NEW configuration is created the Default Options offered are those desired by the User (not the preset FFS defaults). In my case I would like "UPDATE>" to be MY Default for a New configuration and NO...

Unless I've missed it and it already exists somewhere in FreeFileSync, please can we have a tick option or password) option in the Main Menu>Tools>Options to stop a User from Swapping Sides via the "Swap Sides" Button without either a password or as a minimum, a Pop up windows asking User ...

HI Zenju :), Just to let you know your adjustment in FFS v5.23 worked a treat no wrapping to second line unless files being deleted were over 9999

Many Thanks

That very kind of you Zenju. Successful or not I really appreciate you trying :)

I assume change will occur in next update and if that is the case there's no need to respond

Best wishes

Hi Zenju :) Thanks for your reply I now see the problem on my PC (and not because of my O/S as I have used Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) for 1½ years. I fully understand the difficulty trying to please all users display needs. It was for my needs when I replaced my 1600x 9000 LCD monitor with a 1920 x 10...

Hi Zenju :) I updated from 5.21 to 5.22 and noticed the "Delete" pop-up window has changed (title is now "Delete Items" NO PROBLEM) But now in version 5.22 the words for deleting 14 items "Do you really want to delete the following 14 items?" are now in a Bold Font WHIC...
