Re: How to backup files with no extension
So you only want the file, FirstRun, & nothing else (in the particular directory)?
Any other "firstrun's" in that directory?
Set an Include Filter of (only); firstrun*
Otherwise, explain further?

Re: On both file changes at different time, it will not sync newer file ?
I think it's because you are using Two-way, & using .db, & you (now) have files that were modified "externally" - outside the purview of the .db files, & because of that FFS does not know how to proceed (automatically). (There was a somewhat recent thread along this lines [but ...

Re: Append to large files if mirroring session was interrupted
No interrupting (to me) infers a hard break (aka, Cancel [in FFS]). And I take it (& kind of expect) that FFS, on Cancel, actually quits any copy in progress, rolling back any file(s) that had not fully completed their copy at the point of the Cancel. (And with that those file(s) would not have ...

Re: FreeFileSync close after Compare in Ubuntu Error: std::bad_alloc
As a start, backup ~/.config/FreeFileSync/ to something like, ~/tmp/FreeFileSync-thisconfigdoesnotwork/.
From there, can't hurt (I suppose) to post contents of that /FreeFileSync/ directory & the contents of the files therein.

Re: permission denied
Does that occur only with a particular file, or only when attempting to write to a particular directory?
As in, might the error message be accurate, where this is a permissions related issue, where you do not have sufficient privileges to write to the destination?

Is ~/.config/FreeFileSync/ like %appdata% on Windows?
And if so, what it would have been some setting in GlobalSettings.xml that you're thinking caused the issue?

Ah, if you append (or otherwise change the file name), then effect the Rename, opening spaces are discarded (on the Rename), so in that respect it can "work".
