FreeFileSync Forum

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 …

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 …

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 …

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).

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 hav…

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. T…

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.

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 dai…

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!!!

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 bu…

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 tempor…

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

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 …

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 fol…

[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 dri…

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…

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 ad…

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 sl…

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?

Same FFS, but it's the Portable i'm using. Worked using 10.12, but not when i jumped to 10.18. i agree, seems like it shouldn't be FFS. Any suggestions what i might try? i tried re…

Yeah I guess it would be nifty to have one icon that can pop up a GUI with the currently active monitored pairs and jobs. Having a systray full is clonky

Judging by lack of spam, it's working so far. I can't tell on the back-end how many attempts are thwarted, but if that is offensive enough to the point of never coming back, good r…

+1 for this request

"/" not "\". But I tried to recreate it and failed. So did some reading and: [URL] So I tried "\" and voila an example: [Code] So looks like I misread it and it was "\", not "/" si…

Ah yes, the other guy had the same problem (didn't find that post earlier). Thank you for the workaround! Yeah changing current behaviour imho doesn't make sense. It's sufficient f…

Such a simple solution and quick response, imagine that a great program with great support. I'm using the donation version and love it, I'm IMPRESSED. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the Update Zenju and all improvements. Have a stunning day.

Gotcha! If you are explicitly running as non-interactive, you are kind of creating the situation for yourself. You can have the task run "pathToFFS" "pathToJob" which will run it w…

If you check the option, it gives you options to decide those variables

+1 Nice job, looks very palatable!

[Quote] In my opinion as said before the COMPARE button should have a job/log info icon, not only when using SYNC button. So, if an user hit a compare button and NO changes are nee…

We can consider this post solved with the version 10.18. Thank you

O, super, thanx, obviously i missed this feature :).

[Quote] You can disable fail-safe file copy to test this with FreeFileSync.

I would agree with that option as well

Now that I like!

Priority will probably go to the bigger cloud storage options. Considering sync.com isn't even close to the top dogs in popularity, like OneDrive which doesn't have support yet, it…

I confirm, above solution works

FFS 10.14 works on my Raspberry Pi 3 see my replies to trying to compile for raspberry pi (under help) Would love to have an official raspbian (ARM) version of FFS.

[Quote]No. After RealTimeSync (RTS) has detected one or more changes in the specified folders and no newer change has occurred during the RTS idle-time, RTS will launch the specifi…

As far as I have seen, FFS looks for a db file in the directories, so if you change the source/detinstion, it won't have one, then will create a new one
