FreeFileSync Forum

The idle time is stored in the ".real_ffs" file. If you change the idle time in the GUI, save it and it will persist when running from CLI

You are most likely missing something in the filters. Can you post a screenshot of your filters?

Run a compare before the sync

You could also increase page file on the server. I'm guessing it is set statically if programs are crashing

You are probably better suited to do smaller syncs. Do a certain number of directories, like 10 or so, so you don't end up comparing the whole data set towards the end

You should include "*.gpx" or just "*"

Can you screenshot the FFS window with and without the error?

The portable version has no limit, as long as it is run from a "removable" device

What are color tags?

more threads does not mean faster. Sometimes a single thread is faster. Multi thread is ONLY better when the remote location limits the speed on a single connection.

You can copy a file in use, typically without issue. Maybe not with a vhd since it is too big to be stored in memory

That is not a sync, therefore FFS is not suitable for that use. You are probably better off moving all the files into directories containing file types/categories ex. pictures, music, jpgs, pdfs, etc. Then sorting/searching for duplicates all in each directory.

As a workaround, copy and paste the job file then rename. Then you don't have to change sync settings

I believe that a permanent deletion on the local copy does not propagate to a permanent deletion in the cloud. As far as I am aware, there is no way to do that without interacting with the cloud service directly.

There are inclusion and exclusion filters

Maybe a tooltip would suffice

Exactly the case. There is no reason to continue a compare when there is even a single bit difference

Also, you can still get the newer versions for free, jut manually. The donation edition does the auto-updates and the portable options

Is there something wrong with the tree structure on the left side? I don't know the difference

An invoice is something you get that you then pay for. If you have already paid, you don't get a non-existing invoice, you get a receipt of transaction.

You can toggle which categories are shown below. Actions depend explicitly on the categories, so there is no reason to have options for both.

Well the icons corresponds to the file type you are saving to, and three diskette icons would be way more confusing in my opinion.

Even then "easiest" of features aren't easy to develop into existing code.
For the time beings, I would trust the "forfiles" cmd utility

That algorithm is wrong though. The size left and files left are the same data, so you would be doubling the remaining time essentially. The better way to do the algorithm would be: T = [(Size remaining/avg transfer rate) + (files remaining/avg file rate)] / 2 avg rates can be calculated based on re...

Either the paths are incorrect or there is some funky filters going on

There are many possible issues. If the file is locked, if it resides in a directory without read permissions, exclusions, etc. Do you get an error message? If you do only a compare, do you see the outlook file get "queued" up?

There is a setting in options to select a sound to play when compare is done. Although, when I click synchronize only, it compares and automatically runs the sync. Try saving as a batch job.

There is an option to set this in options.

Just click the minus symbol to remove it temporarily or select the source/destination in the compare window and hit spacebar.

You can set it to include only the current year's directory
