Re: Using the option to compare file contents yields false comparison errors
I also sync the same source to another location Also over the network? This time only one file was found to be different. I performed a CRC check of both the source and destination files. Here is what I found: The MD5 hash for both files is identical. The SHA256 hash for both files is identical. So...

FFS version, 13.4? Free or Donation version (though I don't believe that should matter in the case of the FreeFileSync_x64.exe file)? And it is only the timestamp that differs (date is the same)?

Agreed.This reads like some tool on the destination computer accesses and modifies (or at least changes the modified date of) said 32 files after they are written there.

Re: Problems with files without extension
Explain?
So a file "in the cloud" has a name, without an extension.
So something like, "anamewithoutanextension".
And you're looking to sync
from cloud:\\anamewithoutanextension to c:\backups\
but... ?
What cloud?
What type of sync?
Do you have any (non-default) Filters set?

On my end, while a sync is in progress, Paused or not, I/O or not, if I (on Windows) "Show Desktop" (Winkey+M), I can catch a momentary ghost, but that's the extent of it. If I actually minimize the FFS window itself, there is no ghosting at all. Maybe Windows "Aero" (theme) is p...

Seemingly you can disable mtime on Linux systems so maybe that was specifically done, or maybe the Java end is specifically doing that for some odd reason?
(Likewise, maybe you can undo that change if it was in fact done?)
Linux no modify time (nomtime)
