Re: FFS won't open
Reinstall. As long as you didn't save your configurations in the program directory, the configurations will remain. You may have to re-open them at the worst. Make a backup of them if you're concerned

Re: change of directory timestamps
To be honest, the need to keep that timestamp intact is incredibly rare. The positives that come with these features severely outweigh the consequences for 99.99% of users and uses. as like everyone else I use timestamps to observe when directories where last changed I don't use them. File modificat...

Re: Reinstal PC, duplicate files on archive HDD
1) Nothing special. Use the same FFS configuration setup and the same locations, should be fine. 2) No, FFS doesn't include any 'duplication detection' features 3) Versioning is per-configuration. Not sure what a basket is referring to, it may be worth clarifying your terminology to be more accurate...

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.

Re: Recover from RecycleBin_tmp
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'

Re: Upload updated files to ftp server without scanning remote ftp server
You have to scan remote files to determine what has been changed. There may be a tool out there that simply overwrites everything no matter what, but FFS isn't it

Re: Why is the comparison speed different?
You can create a service that runs in the background and constantly updates the FFS file. Then we wouldn't have to wait long. But then your PC is wasting resources constantly comparing data AND it is taking buffer space away from other processes that need it more for realtime use. @Plerry thanks, I...

Re: Hint at Source & Destination
Since FFS supports more than simply mirroring from a source to a destination, having the sides designated as such wouldn't make sense. Using two-way syncing would be an example where this doesn't work. FFS doesn't have a Dark Mode so any issues you are having with it should be directed at whoever im...
