Re: error
Set deletions to be permanent in the sync settings or figure out a way to get access to the Recycle Bin on the network device. It likely doesn't have one though

Re: [FeatureReq] Versioning on both sides
Your response to my post is, in fact, how I also understood it. I may not have worded it correctly, as more specifically it is almost a local setting under a local sync-pair. We seem to be in agreeance

Re: [FeatureReq] Versioning on both sides
Sounds like OP is requesting that each location have its own versioning path, and then deleted/overwritten files would go to the locally specified versioning path instead of the global one configured for the configuration. Similar to how global and local filters work now.

Re: RealTimeSync does not monitor multiple \\?\Volume
Isn't this intended behavior? It sounds like OP wants to monitor multiple locations and have a sync fire off if any one becomes mounted, and not all will be mounted at a time. But RTS doesn't work unless all monitored locations are accessible. I looked here: https://freefilesync.org/manual.php?topic...

No. Compared to Google's size, neither an individual or a program-community our size is even a blip on the radarWould the FreeFileSync team have more leverage than individuals like me in getting these issues addressed? dwhutton, 23 Apr 2024, 18:23

To be honest, the need to keep that timestamp intact is incredibly rare.

Re: change of directory timestamps
This is most likely because FFS uses a database file to track changes in a location. The file is read from and written to during a comparison/sync, thus the folder has been modified and the timestamp is updated. Disable "use database file to detect changes" to test this theory. You likely ...

Re: Issue with Modification Dates When Mirroring USB and Google Drive
FAT32 kind of sucks and does have some timestamp limitations. If you run a compare in FFS, check what the timestamps are of the files in Google Drive, they may be outside the range that FAT32 supports. It might be worth backing up the data on the USB drive, if it is important, and then reformat it t...

Re: Issue with Modification Dates When Mirroring USB and Google Drive
The USB drive format may not support the timestamps or the modification of them. Try switching to File Content or File Size comparison, although these will take longer to run.

FFS doesn't encrypt it. Pulling files out of the recycle bin manually usually doesn't work like that since there is extra data that Windows holds onto. You have to use the "restore" option from within Recycle Bin. Look into versioning or a more robust backup system to avoid this in the fut...

Sounds like you are using RTS to automate syncing?
If so, go re-save your .ffs_batch configurations and make sure to check 'auto-close' and probably 'run minimized'
