Re: Can i schedule a batch job BUT with a prompt ?
I suppose you now have FFS run a *.ffs_batch sync configuration.
If you save your sync configuration as a *.ffs_gui sync configuration.
When you have FFS run a *.ffs_gui sync configuration, it always opens in the FFS GUI.

Re: some ffs info lost when updating from donation edition
The info you refer to is only saved when you close/terminate FFS in a regular way.
If you kill FFS in a non-regular way, e.g. via the task manager, or by a reboot, that info is not saved.
Likely, running an installation of a new/other version of FFS while FFS is still open also qualifies as such.

Re: runs once, deletes all if twice
Your screen-shot shows your 3rd left-right pair uses the E:\BackupW11b location.
You should replace E:\BackupW11b by E:\BackupW11b\MyPhoneExplorer.
Then you avoid overlaps between your right-side locations, and thereby also the unintended deletions.
