FreeFileSync Forum

New user here and also have a question on donating - if I donate can I download multiple platform versions? I have two computers: 1 windows and 1 Linux.

Thank you so much!! I never thought to move the mouse...duh. This deserves another donation!

Thanks for clarifying the Pause behaviour. I'll use that when I know I'm not going to be on Ethernet :) (does sftp even allow for files to be paused midway? I guess you could send something ...

[Quote] no worries. be assured that i do not expect anything mandatory. it was merely a suggestion and i was interested in your assessment. so nothing to be afraid of.

Thank you, I will try it...

Wonderful help, thank you so much guys.

Google Drive has a certain delay until it notifies applications via its API about changes. For files deleted on Google drive it can take 10-20 sec until an app sees this change. Therefore it...

[Quote] What comparison method? If by Content, date/time are ignored. If by Time and Size, obviously different dates (& sizes) will affect results.

Fantastic, will do. Looking forward to giving FreeFileSync a try. Thanks again.

More discussion here: [URL] Definitely worth looking into still, the time estimates are pretty much useless, like Windows estimations. Since really nothing has ever been good, I don't know i...

Worked like a charm, Thank you,

[Quote] Never mind. You can do the above. Only what you see (or don't see) may be affected by Filtering that is enabled (or not). Like if you disable 'Show files that are equal' (a typical s...

Maybe the developer wants to force the dissatisfied users to accept this view, but this will hardly succeed.

Oh I see! Yes, that only leaves the one solution you provided... Hopefully you get something worked out!

That would definitely work! It's simple, even though it's not technically the 'best' since you add another failure point, but that may be acceptable to you!

I did that. I even restarted the computer. But the problem reappeared for me on 11.4. Couldn't the problem be that I'm using the Portable version?

Do not work.

Yes, you can call the FFS executable with the ffs_batch file as the parameter

Had a quick test with the beta, works like a charm. Definitely improves the usability for me, because I usually have my hands on the keyboard and not on the mouse. Thanks for the fast reacti...

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes it is technically doable. Although I would very much prefer not to add more layers of complexity. Adding more scripts adds more places where things can go w...

First of all, I would like to thank Zenju for such an amazing quality software and extreme responsiveness. A solid action was completely unexpected let alone the timing of it. Awesome job, t...

I did think about going down the xvfb route but there were reports of stability issues and the need to install the xvfb server. The additional level of complexity in the solution I am using ...

Maybe? What are the advantages of native M1 support vs Rosetta as far as FreeFileSync is concerned? Currently it's still being developed on an Intel machine.

I know it's come up in the forum before, but I feel compelled to restate that Beyond Compare is much easier on the eyes than FFS, and this has consequences on usability. The biggest factors ...

The first error is probably caused by a drive that needs a chkdsk ran on it. It probably needs chkdsk for a reason though, either it wasn't unmounted correctly or it is failing, test it. The...

Zip extraction is part of Windows, no need to buy Winzip. Alternatively there's also 7-Zip: [URL]

That's interesting as I did not create a RTS. Maybe it was due to creating a Task Schedule. I opened 2 windows on the screen, each window being a drive directory (2 different HDDs). I experi...

Hi all, I have a strange issue with FreeFileSync, it seems to run slowly when trying to sync a large amount of files from a samba share to my computer. With FreeFileSync, I can only get abou...

There is no difference compared to installing the standard version.

I would wager a guess on how the NAS is setup. I think it came up because Linux/ext4 used file IDs that change instead of staying, thus it is a 'different' file.

Before your actual sync, you can look in the Compare result window. After the sync, you can check the log-file. F4 or the icon left below the Compare result Window.

[Quote] What a happy coincidence; I have been thinking about exactly that over the past few days. Thank-you for reading my mind.

Nice! I've partially integrated the patch + added additional fixes for cross-platform compatibility on Windows, macOS, Linux.

The simplest way to correctly add items to your Exclude (or Include) Filter is run a compare in the FFS GUI, select the item and use the context menu (right-click).

Also, nice theming improvements! I guess I use generic themes that have not incurred a need to fix FreeFileSync. Next FreeFileSync version or rebuild (I do that infrequently, between FFS ver...

This only affects the cosmetics. Since the drive doesn't have a letter, it defaults to that ?:\... path. Once it sees the drive, it works normally. There is another thread around here that I...

Fixed! There were two issues here: [Code] [URL]

Johny111, The older version to go for is [URL] as this was the last version released that used the old structure of displaying what it going on. Whether or not that will suit you depends on ...

Everything is in the Subject. Is there a plan to have Freefilesync on chromebook Chrome OS. Honextly, it is painfull to copy and paste files on a chromebook. Need urgently a software like fr...
