Along a similar line: If I install a newer version and would run into issues not occuuring with the older version, can I simply revert to the older version by installing the old version "over" the newer version? Obviously this is important to know in a "production" environment. T...

Why not simply exclude that particular folder (and all its contents) from the sync
in your sync definition?

As you sync multiple laptops to the same desktop (assuming in the same synced-state location on that desktop PC), it is by far the smartest choice to also define your previous-version location on that desktop PC (identical for all laptop syncs). If, during a sync, a laptop contains a newer file-vers...

It seems you misunderstand the concept here. Syncing serves to have identical file-state on either/each side/site. In synchronized state, there is no difference. When using versioning, if a newer version of that file exists FFS saves the previously synchronized version of that file to the versioning...

For me the side advantage of 1. (you know exactly where to find all available versions of a file via a file browser) is one of the prime reasons to use FFS. I would hate to see that dropped. If 1. is tied to I and 2. is tied to II, why not give the choice (option) which of the two combination to use...

FTP-synchronization ... Unless other methods are employed (e.g. using a database), synchronization is normally based on file-timestamp (date/time) and file-size. Unfortunately, standard FTP does not support retaining file timestamp when writing /copying files. Some FTP servers and some FTP clients s...

My earlier suggestion to use an AND condition of X-versions and Y-days: > Versions only get deleted if they are at least Y-days old and if there are at least X newer versions. applied to each file after sync seems to allow the benefits of both option I) and II) above. * setting X to 0 would effectiv...

I really support the new version approach! Like Giangi I don't seen the need for a limitation in size. I like the approach of X-versions and Y-days. However, I would suggest to be able to choose between an AND and an OR of these two conditions. Programmatically this seems to be straigh forward. If n...
