No problem. I have found that most tray applications behave this way (X -> minimize, or at least there is an option to configure it that way), but if you're worried about confusing folks I understand. Adding it to the Quick Launch bar isn't really the issue - I can open it, I just keep closing it by...

Hi, Bottom right? Sorry, I don't see that one - but yes, I'm referring to the top right (i.e. the close window X). As with many applications that use the tray, it would be nice to minimize to the tray rather than close when this X is pressed (and add a button in the window itself to exit the applica...

A couple comments (am using Ver 3.2 now),

- sync runs automatically on program
start, even if no files need to be
synchronized
- the X is still there, and it exits (not minimize to tray, which would be
great)

Thanks!

Hi, A couple questions on RealtimeSync - as it seems like a great tool, just not sure about a couple items! - is the delay time in seconds? - does the monitoring start automatically (and pressing Start is not required, as it sort of looks like)? - is there a way to make the X (close box) not close t...

Hi,

I found a workaround - as part of the batch file to send an email I check for
the most recent file. Do you want the info for your readme?

Thanks!

Hi,

Is there a way to determine the name of the log file used when running a batch
job? I ask because I'd like to send the log file in the body of an email, but
the filename changes each time.

Thanks!

Yep - these are exactly the ones I was talking about originally - glad I
wasn't crazy at least ... :-).

Perhaps an option to ignore them / junctions (or not)?

Thanks!

The issue is that not only are these shortcuts copied (that would be fine!), but it also tries to enter these directories - which it shouldn't with simlinks off ... should it? The way to duplicate it is to synchronize (actually, update, 1 way copy) a user's Documents folder (\Users\username\Document...

Sorry - somehow I missed your question! Let me try to answer it now - and BTW, I have been fiddling with settings, and still can't get this to work ... :-(. The issue shows up if you set the source directory (for Update mode) to the Documents folder - as there are some hidden junctions there to dire...

OK, I tried this, and you are correct - the default is false ... but FFS still
seems to be trying to follow these links.

Am I doing something stupid (which is pretty normal for me ... :-()?

Would it make sense to add this to the GUI, or at least in the configuration
file that can be loaded by the GUI?

Thanks!

Does this also apply to the GUI case (i.e. are these variables also available
there)?

Thanks!

Hi,

Is there any way to change this, or is it limited by Windows itself? It is a
bit of a pain, but not a showstopper of course.

Thanks!

Hi,

I found a new feature of Windows Vista / 7 yesterday - junctions (or at least
it was new to me ... :-)). Is there a way to tell FFS not to try to copy (or
follow) these?

Thanks!

Hi,

It seems that for Shadow Copy to work the user running FFS has to have
administrator access ... is that really right? I don't want all users to have
that level of access ... :-).

Thanks!
