Ladies and Gents, Apologies if I have missed something but is there any way to check the status of a scheduled task on a windows box. To clarify: I can tell that the task is still …

Hi, Whether on Windows or Linux, there are standard OS utilities to do it. Task manager in Windows, various schedulers on Linux... Wouldn't that meet your needs?

I've changed the search backend to "MySQL Fulltext" instead of "phpBB Native Fulltext". Searching should have less limitations now.

Simply comparing by file content should find all corrupt files, doesn't it?

Hi, Are on Windows, Mac, Linux? The procedure differs depending on your O/S... See [URL] for more info if you run Windows... Also this post: [URL] on Ubuntu. Although it does not w…

[Quote] Did you actually read the link posted by Plerry??? The file is where all the settings should be: into your own appdata folder! From the help page linked: "To locate this fi…

Would be very nice FFS verifying files after sync without our interference in line 13 <VerifyCopiedFiles Enabled="false"/> after every update .

Wouldn't this would be an overhead on the workstation because it would always have to be running. best to schedule the backups with Task Scheduler so that there is a small footprin…

It would be really handy if FFS could be configured to compare some (e.g. 10%) of the files each time it runs such that over the course of a certain number of runs (e.g. 10 runs) a…

Delete the shortcut. Ignore the rest. Unless you actually set up to use a RealTimeSync, it does nothing.

yes, found that setting there and ticked that. Thanks.

Today, I faced a problem because of no settings file. (as mentioned in other thread requesting to have a "hard disk" settings file.) I am taking a backup of all my settings files o…

Hi, you press F8 and then you press the UPDATE button. With this option you have untouched the right side, and only update that files.

It would be very nice if FreeFileSync could become part of PortableApps. However, this seems to be complicated because of problems described here: [URL] Therefore I would like to a…

When saving as a batch, the setting is set there... answered my own question :/

Thanks a lot for this reply. It seems that ther was an issue synchronizing together with Window Offline files. I didn't fully sorted that out, but I trust that FreeFileSync did its…

I think it means that you also need to copy the Hidden-System file, Desktop.ini when you make your syncs. So in 12:Filters, you want to check the 'Hidden' box. --- [Quote] That's r…
