FreeFileSync Forum

Yes, It was set to "Follow" but for some reason it didn't work. I've tried few days later and it has synched as expected. Thank you for answering.

That is how we use it actual, but it would be for other users more comfortable if it is chooseable due to the dropdown menu like shutdown actual is. Greetings from Berlin

That's pretty much it. Thank you very much.

...unless the exclusion is applied *after* comparison, in which case excluded files are included in the list. FFS doesn't throw away information it already has (but has to during c…

I think your first "Compressed.png" layout looks great. That particular set of buttons is overly large, IMO, and I would prefer they were the same size as the configuration buttons…

what worked for me (after first failure copying only executables) was copying all 3 dat files: registered.dat, install.dat and animal.dat from the new location to the installation …

Possible with FreeFileSync 11.24! [URL] By appending ':' to the include filter, it will match files only: [Quote]

If you drag and drop a shortcut on the main window, FFS will automatically fill in the shortcut's target. I'm not sure if FFS should go even further and accept shortcuts as input p…

For the record, there is no need to delete corrupted database files manually. FFS will do this automatically during the next sync, after showing the error message: [URL]

Sure. If using "Mirror", make sure to restore the data to the new computer before setting up the backup again or the new empty desktop with mirror and delete the backup. You could …

[Quote] Whoops. Forgot to search first. Thank you Zenju. D

Macros + exclusion filters [URL]

that is great!! many thanks!!!

that is great!! many thanks!!!

[Quote] Actually for the sync I want to do this option "Detect moved files" is not available because my settings are: If item exists only on left side --> do noting Left is newer -…

Hi. Just found this thread through the search, I too would like to be able to either parse .gitignore or have something like .ffsignore to make exclusions easier to manage. I'm afr…

Thank you for the information. I found it and edited the GlobalSettings.xml file. Why isn't this option in the GUI? It seems like it is something that I should be able to just put …

What do you think?

Why for the first folder shown it does not have it's own line (python\lib\site-packages) (on the left side), but for the others, they have their own line?

Almost certainly, these files starting with ~$ are temporary MS-office "backup"-files of each file that was open in MS-Office at the time of running the FFS sync. You can exclude t…

Chances are good we might be able to work around this issue: [Quote] [URL]

Syncovery definitely can do it… though I‘d love to see FFS having it implemented. Syncovery is way slower for me and so I‘m always doing a first run with FFS and then a second one …

Using [URL] That string converts to yesterday's date/time. I don't have an expire number in my URL, so not sure if it actually means anything. It may just contain the donation time…

xCSxXenon - Thank you so much for rapid response. I have quickly verified that I have read and write permission. However, I also see it is Locked which is greyed out...

Fixed for the next release.

Where is, or what is, "show devices panel" ?

[Quote] Yeah, I was trying to make it as simple as possible, and assuming no changes were made to the config files. Although, if those are stored in AppData, why not just leave the…

Tags don't get synced. On the first "sync", they do only because it's writing it for the first time. If you change a tag on its own, it won't sync. If you were to change the tag an…

I use and support multiple ( 4 or 5 ) copies of FFS. I frequently use Windows TaskScheduler to launch FFS. These jobs run on computers I don't access frequently ( sometimes days/we…

Unfortunately these false-positives after a new release are "normal". They will be gone once enough users have downloaded, e.g. after a day or so and the file has earned enough "re…

My feature request is simple: Provide a checkbox in the synchronization options that files are moved ordered by their size, with small files first. I have two arguments for this ch…

It is not currently possible.

There's may posts about safe ways to detect moved/renamed files. I just wanted to comment that having the option to compare with file size (already available) and syncrhonize filen…

> Why does the [Two way] consider it as a conflict ? Most likely, the file at stake has changed on both sides since the last (two-way) sync between those two locations was run. In …

@Zenju: Would be nice, if you could clarify this.

Many thanks xCSxXenon , this helps a lot

Is the task actually running and the action is failing, or is the task not running in the first place?

Maybe there are some helpful ideas here to limit the transfer/upload speed, but I prefer the straightforward ways to do this task and for example : - Duplicati , There is a speed c…

Thanks, this solve the problem.

Thank you @xCSxXenen

Thank you @Zenju.

Also, you are correct that you should be setting the sync to 'mirror' B ---> X. Are you running a compare after making that change? I would like to see a screenshot of the compare …

Hi Guys, A very minor suggested change: In the "Synchronising..." window, the "When finished:" drop-down should probably have default text of "Do nothing", rather than being blank.…

It is possible with OneDrive official client, still you will need some tweaks. First of all OneDrive instances that support WebDav can be done with something like WinSCP which is o…

That's not a problem, running RTS on the destination will work fine.

Hello, I never found how to use FreeFileSync with FTPES protocol, but I found how to configure another NAS with SFTP so now I'm able to use it with this so my issue is solved. By c…
