Thumbs from me. I've made that request before. Not to be able to 'parse the list' during sync but to be able to see the progress. If I'm not wrong, if you minimize then restore the…

I too would like to see an option added to "Run command BEFORE sync" so that I can automatically wake up the remote host that I'm trying to sync with. In Windows, "\\hostname\\C$" …

Thanks! Your suggestion to open FFS in the terminal was the clue I needed to get this done. I found all that I need to do was, after creating a Timeshift snapshot (I'm a coward), I…

So in other words: if user has a lot of folder-pairs there is no way the upper area will unfolds itself to accommodate all of them upon re-opening of FSS?

A am I right in claiming that re-clicking the Synchronization button will not work - because whole program must be re-opened in order to notice changes in selected path-pairs? Coul…

[Quote] I would like to suggest putting and info icon at the end of the row with buttons, that would briefly explain which one is for what and / or contain such info about differen…

An option: Create a new config for just /stuff that excludes */good and */bad. The Compare is all items on both sides that are different. While the obvious solution for many scenar…

I'm a little embarrassed, it was permissions on the secondary drive. All 12 tasks finished without issue. I am surprised that I failed to check this, as this isn't my first rodeo. …

It would be great to have a graph showing speed over time. [Attachment] [Attachment]

Quite simple: Referring to the picture you linked: 76% = 0.76 = 40.5GB/(40.5GB+12.8GB) 12.8% = 0.128 = 12.8GB/(40.5GB+12.8GB) So, the percentages indicate the relative amount of da…

Glad to see that this conversation led to something positive for every one. Cheers.

Where is the Animal.dat file? It is nowhere in the source release.

Grammatically correct post, but nonsense content (there are no 'profiles' in FFS). Previous post was from 2022 => hacked account + AI Spammer??

Sine the sourceforge link above is dead, but might be interesting, here's the content: [Quote]

Oh, now I understand. That's exactly the sort of problem I was worried about. Someone created a flathub ID as Zenju. The appearance is that it's official, but it's not. That's how …

What is the importance of last access time in linux? I thought it was customary to disable that with noatime in the fstab file. It's commonly recommended to do that to reduce wear …

ha ok sorry for the topic, i understand, i need to Wait One Month after installing the Licence to unlink the computer . Thx Sorry ^^

Proposed before, and declined. That is no longer a syncing scenario, and FFS is for syncing. You could messily get it working by pointing every folder in a path to the same destina…

In addition to xCSxXenon's suggestions: If the scope of all above syncs is all the same (the same set of files/folders is to be synced) it might be better to designate one of the a…

[Quote] Thanks

File contents compares the bits. It will always be significantly longer than the others. Comparing sizes is just to determine if the files are different, it has nothing to do with …

Yes this is a known Windows bug(?)/limitation: [URL] [Quote]

Ah!...I'm an idiot....I apologize.

[Quote] Zenju, would you be able to offer a discount for .EDU customers? We would likely want at least 100 and maybe 200 licenses if we can afford them. The $20 each is way too muc…

Thanks a lot I will give rclone a try.

Just installed the free version in Debian 13. I uses Mate, dark for a theme. File/directory names (white on white) is unreadable. Don't see a way to change other than OS theme chan…

OK, this request has not been updated for a long time. Any plans for implementing this feature in the future? Formal enhancement request?

This is what I wound up with: A Windows batch file that’s configured as the command to run when an RTS sync completes, which deletes all but the last 25 logs: [Code] There’s probab…

I removed the fingerprint via `ssh-keygen -R 192.168.1.2`. I then tried to connect via OpenSSH (i.e., `ssh me@192.168.1.2`) and it gave me the "The authenticity of host '192.168.1.…

Dear Zenju, Please find here a patch to support build with the newer curl 8.16. It will also work with older versions of curl [Code] Regards Origin: [URL]

The LOCK files exist so only a single FFS instance can access as base location at a time. Excluding them manually doesn't do anything, as they are ignored anyway. The are created w…

FFS does not do this. The db files are for keeping track of files in a location for more efficient handling of moving/renaming. A snapshot without the data is not super helpful any…

Hey all, I’m new to the group, and I’m about a month in with FFS. This software is laid out with a simple design and is easy to use. I love it. I have been editing my music library…

Well, I’ll try to go a bit deeper into what I was getting at. In my Example, about getting the recycle bin not available error. When I flag it to ignore these errors, the log file …
