Note, that what you are asking (reverse sorting on date) can presently already be done. If you right-click in a header of the Compare result window you can select to show the Date, and by left-clickin...

I know this is a very old post but the problem was just present to me. I found the following workaround: (maybe it’s already mentioned somewhere else) In Windows Disk Management, where you add or chan...

>at a set time For running individual FFS sync jobs at individually sequenced times: See [URL] For running multiple FFS syncs jobs in a specific order (as a single scheduled job or manually), you can ...

Hi again. Not sure if the "custom post-sync script" is a note to yourself or a feature of FFS that I haven't discovered yet.... :-) It's been a veeeery looooooooooooong time since I faffed with the FT...

Shouldn't be a problem as far as FFS is concerned. File systems however have different constraints, most notably FAT (requires dates >= 1980)

I think matching up the grouping and/or sorting ability to select the tagged copy of each group to use that path selected to mark/tag the other entries similar to that path before the filename. To add...

Many thanks, it worked. It was a bit tricky to figure out which folder the symlink should point to and which folders should be compared. Certainly not as straight as the feature I would like but defin...

Did you try storing your sync as a *.ffs_batch-file, and select to Ignore Errors when saving. See [URL] (the second box marked in red).

I just did an update and have lost all my sync data/profiles. i had 4 different ones how can i get them back?

hi again, just to show a more concrete example, i've included a snapshot... again, i really love freefile but i must find something that mirror left->right the content... and i have several gig to cop...

[Quote]Obviously you synchronize between 2 computers/file-servers. But you only need to install and run FreeFileSync (FFS) on just one computer, normally a domain-, desktop- or laptop computer that ha...

If files have different names, FFS always considers those files to be "different" (unless files have been renamed, and you use the "detect renamed files" option). FFS always only compares files with t...

i am using a WD Mycloud device for backup and using FFS for my backups. i am in the process of trying to setup remote access to the device for when i am away. i know that WD offers a sync program to u...

Fight Duplication, compare file options to have only relative folders or search recursive folders, and allow to select which folder tree structure version to keep. I'd like to be able to spot duplicat...

Hello, I would like an new internal-var - for example: %base_path2% - with the Base-Folder-Names. When having more than one folder-pairs: i would use the these var for archiving. Then for Example: Arc...

There is a problem with longer file paths and folders. Maybe 8 or more ingredients in each other. But quite randomly, sometimes it goes and sometimes not.

May I add my vote for this feature too, but also add that it would be nice to be able to choose at run-time which view is desired. If you were to make some of us happy by changing the list view to a t...

I agree that File time and File size should be independent comparison criteria - with options to select either or both. Thank you for FFS which is (almost) indispensible for my daily work. Jochen

I'm using FreeFileSync to synchronise a folder to an IIS FTP server which doesn't support the MFMT command. Therefore I've configured the comparison to run on file size which is fine for my purposes. ...

The error points to this command.When I comment it it does not display any errors.Also the above command when I run it from shell,does not start the gui!!!

(Only) the FFS donation version supports silent installs. See [URL].

hmmmm...I have files that repeatedly show as not equal by FFS (latest version), but when I compare them with Hex Fiend, that finds no differences. It would really help to get more info from FFS about ...

OK, please ignore my cranial flatulence. I found FFS in a repository.

I'm a new user. I'm happy with the features the software provides. It's very useful. However, I think there needs to be some work done in the user interface. At the minimum, the buttons (at the top an...

Anyone, please? Esp. about which folders to exclude... Thanx.

I'd like to add my vote for this feature request. I had been using another software that has that feature and it's the first thing I noticed is missing from this software. I temporarily did the deleti...

Configuration files are user-dependent. You're probably running the batch jobs under a different user. See the note under: [URL]

Great, thanks!

First time user. Gotta say I am impressed with the speed of this tool! Been using AllSync for a couple of years thinking that was the best the internet could offer... but that's a trash fire compared ...

As the name suggests, FFS is primarily a file synchronization tool. It will compare the file names/sizes/dates of one or more folder pairs , e.g. a local folder and an external folder (inc. sub-trees)...

[Quote] that is true

Check the daylight savings settings. [URL]

What was the error? Couldn't connect? The phone doesn't allow a connection to that location but rather the longer one. That is a phone difference, nothing with FFS.

You are probably getting a folder selected for deletion, which will delete the data in that folder.

It depends on how you organized your hard-drives. If your two main edit hard drives are set up as one single logical volume (JBOD or Raid0 or Raid1), and your three backup hard drives are also set up ...

It seems you are still mixing up the *.ffs_real file and the *.ffs_batch file. Your line [Code] is a line from your *.ffs_batch XML file, not from your *.ffs_real file, and relates to something comple...

Thanks bgstack15! I hadn't thought about that, as I always compile everything using MSVC, so I'll give this a try and let you know how it works out. I was really hoping for some advice from Zenju on t...

Happy to contribute rather than just complain :) Oh, and for completeness and anyone else interested I've updated my script that may be useful until email is added so here's the slightly updated versi...

It looks like you need a command/shell script around FFS, launching FFS [URL], possibly [URL], and organize the zipping and deletion also from that same (or another) script.

How do I authorize FreeFileSync donation edition in Mac?
