Re: Exit .ffs_gui after successful synchronization
Probably you mean /f
Taskkill without /f is like closing an app clicking the upper right corner X:
if the app is in a state where it can be closed, it close with regular housekeeping, otherwise none is done.

Re: COMPARE 2 TYPES OF FILE.
You can have many folders pairs as you want in the same configuration/sync job.
Example:
C:\A\ -> D:\A\
C:\B\ -> D:\B\
C:\C\ -> D:\C\
And so on.
Then should be of help to read the online Manual and to look at the video tutorials.

Re: Location on hard drive of backup configurations
It was not necessary to delete them, it was enough to move them to your preferred folder(s) (better with FFS closed).
Then in FFS you would have reopened them from the new positions.

Re: Location on hard drive of backup configurations
You should/must choose the folder location best for you when saving your configuration/sync job and you should give it also a name:
- from the toolbar Configuration using Save or Save as...
- from the menu File

Re: Location on hard drive of backup configurations
There isn't a default configurations (sync job and batch job) location, you can save them where you want and FFS will list them anyway, as you have already discovered.

Re: Log Files are not being created
FFS always logs its sync activity in the file
C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\FreeFileSync\LastSyncs.log
with recent activity on top.
But you can specify a log file specific for your sync job if you save and execute it as a batch job.

Try to compare using "Beyond Compare", you can try it for 30 days.
Use the "Binary comparison" in "Compare Contents..." in the Actions menu.
It can compare a folders tree without intervention and gives you a detailed report at the end.

Rename the corresponding file on disk, whether it is a .ffs_batch or a .ffs_gui file.
Then Open it from FFS and Remove the old name from the list.
