[Quote] [URL] [Quote] Move detection works fine as long as the moves happen on a device that supports file IDs, even if the target device doesn't, e.g. SFTP.

Nice idea. I hate that the source code isn't available. Who knows what this actually does

File content will take a long time, every time. Unfortunately, size comparison can't be disabled

Sweet! Thank you!

Thanks. Although, the target folder's modified timestamp is changed according to synchronisation timestamp and NOT the source folder's timestamp ! NB: rsync does adjusts target fol…

The different naming of sync.ffs_db files doesn't matter when you're syncing different folder pairs. Most likely the limitations regarding "Detect Moved Files" apply: [URL]

[Quote] i know, but i didn't really like this, i prefere use delemiter, it's just a suggest if u didn't want to implement , I won't be sad :d

You're talking about the free edition as well? Where I can see that x threads? In my case, it first scans the first drive, then the second one, tried it couple of times, every time…

You will want to research backup software. FFS isn't backup software, it is file management software. Backup software usually costs money, but it has been a while since I looked in…

1) Nothing is automatic unless you set it up to be automatic 2) If the source is unreachable or unreadable, FFS will throw an error and "stop"*** *** This is too generic of a hypot…

Yes, that's it exactly. I understand that I could have placed the xml file anywhere, but I didn't, and then I didn't point to it correctly. Thank you again for your help.

[Quote] YES !!! you were right !!, I'm sorry I didn't pay more attention to this, I was on the road ... I already tried something like this with batch sessions, but they don't work…

Oh ye of little faith with the user error. As my eyes do not deceive me, please believe me! I will report to Microsoft but live with it for now, At least I am happy it shows somewh…

Annoyance after sync from phone. It's a windows(/mtp) problem, but would be nice if FFS could sync creation date of files. Currently (and before FFS) i run all images through xnvie…

[Quote] Context: SMB file sharing, Fedora, Gnome. I don't know what toolkit FFS uses, so I don't know if its file loading interaction varies depending on the UI/UX that you're usin…

ah i see. Have missed that. Second version already doable. Until now just used basic folder pair sync. Just recently started to discover all possibilities 👍 Got it. Have to split f…

Thank you. That's what I was looking for. It helps alot.

For every file on the 'source' side, FFS would have to scan every single file on the other side to find the corresponding file. How would FFS know if it is a match though? By file …

Fair point, solid answer.

Hello everyone, thank you for answering, I did read the manual, what I wanted to know is the most optimal way to have a mirror in the cloud, I have tried both realtimesync and free…

Maybe i missed something, but have looked at [URL] and not found details. I'd like to select GUID, but show the [volume name] (if not empty). Maybe as partial colored name or simpl…

Yeah I see that. But personally, I try not to touch windows as much as possible. I try to keep it as clean as possible as reinstalling it then having to reconfigure everything is a…

I would like to Donate and use the Portable edition. Can I just confirm that FFS no longer has a time limit on Donation Edition updates? Does it matter how much you donate? I am re…

I just realized my error In one of my target folders I omitted the colon after the drive letter. Pls pardon the overhead here. I ran a successful backup.

On the Synchronization Form My primary use is backing up remote servers operation data back to a NAS system, which takes hours, even when just Syncing. Typically this is a daily ta…

@Plerry Thank you for your quick reply!

*bump* two more FFS updates have been released since I last checked on dark mode status. Dark Mode is not yet included in FFS. Yet it is one of the most requested, commented and vi…

Oops, apologies.

I wonder if a hash like BLAKE3 is used for content comparison. While still slower than file date and size, BLAKE3 is definitely faster than, for example, the various flavors of SHA…
