BTW, if your comparison setting is "File time and size" then the number of files rather than the size of the files is what will affect the compare time most, traversing paths, etc …

Profit is not a dirty word. Zenju has already confessed to a passion for perfecting his craft; it shows clearly in FFS. But because it's freely available, he's not able to put as m…

Parsing the logs is made more difficult by the extra lines that occasionally appear for an individual entry in a file. One line per entry will significantly ease the task. Given th…

I'm not sure exactly what it is you want to do but I use FFS to sync to local Dropbox, etc. folders which then get synced to the cloud in the normal way. Works nicely. You can even…

There is a Win beta mentioned over in Help if anyone is interested.

In some OS (my example is FreeBSD, another is Gentoo Linux), there is the practice when the user can disable certain option for all packages. Particular relevant options here are D…

This is just a compile-time reminder for a TODO and can be ignored.

what you're expected to do is Save once you have a pair or set of pairs configured

Oops, Looks like this has already been requested in "Enable/Disable folder pairs" thread. Wasn't looking for Enable/Disabe when I was searching. I would like to see a check box by …

For those the beginners, here is are more details on the very correct solution of Zenju and steve-p. If you run the synchronization using the batch file created by FFS, then you ca…

I've changed the layout a bit; download workflow should be clear now: [URL]

This could be the same problem as discussed in this thread, e.g. caused by a Virus Scanner such as Comodo: [URL]

Hi Zenju, Sorry only just noticed your post (that will teach me to remember to tick the M box. Seems to work great and as i wanted after one sync test 2 (nitpicking) observations i…

[Quote] Excellent! :)

[Quote] Hi Zenju, Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunaly I have a couple of pc linked to this folder and also another sysnc running on a sub folder.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. What would really help me and maybe others as well, were an example of when and how to use the Include section. Filters are the most challengi…

Windows 8. When launching RealTimeSync from command line, it starts in the system tray. Double clicking the icon in systray opens application window. Clicking minimize or close but…

Great job! I've noticed that my request was implemented. Thank you very much.

I have all my files in a 30GB TrueCrypt .TC file (encrypted drive volume) on a 500GB portable USB 3.0 drive. I have a copy of the .TC file on my WORK, HOME, and LAPTOP computers. T…

Thanks for the report! Issue has been fixed. Here's the new version for testing: [404, Invalid URL: https://freefilesync.org/FreeFileSync_6.14_beta_Windows_Setup.exe]

Thanks Zenju :)

Still does not keep timestamps of directories/folders in FreeFileSync v6.13 64bit. Could be possible to have fixed?

I'd like to have that feature too. My suggestion for UI implementation (which indeed is a small impact): At the very left (in front of the red minus-signs), add another column with…

...mmm I've just take knowledge that if I install gcc++ for c++11 from Jessie Repo, I will have to update libc6 in order to let works any other c++11 compiled programs on wheezy. I…

Forgot to mention win 8.1 64bit fresh and older installs

yes, I guess "no output" means suppressing the FFS window, but I don't know for sure either.

Confirmed. This is due to FFS using the UTC system time for remaining time estimations. However, considering that this is non-trivial to solve portably and it's non-functional and …

the requests are simple and title is quite self-explanatory Ordered by importance: 1) would be nice to have the copy file mode option available to be enabled/disabled on each sync …

[Quote] No, because FreeFileSync checks folder existence only once: no matter if the device becomes visible later or not, starting sync will show a fatal error and skip the corresp…

When doing a mirror sync, it is easy for me to use diff -q -r to verify everything went ok. But an option to verify would be convenient. It would let me walk away from the keyboard…

My particular interest is in a version for 32-bit Ubuntu 14

I'd still like to do it. Don't want the start up/shut down delay. Anyway I have another similar folder structure. So I'd really like to understand how I should configure RealtimeSy…

Crap! I missed that! Thank you!!!!

I'm worried I didn't present this clearly. Let me try it this way: Computer A, a MacBook Air, is running FreeFileSync on a decrypted Truecrypt volume, mounted as a virtual drive. I…
