FreeFileSync Forum

Fair enough. However IMHO I think it's good to know if I synched the session 1 day ago or 1 month ago, and if I should bother to do a compare/resync or not (I don't sit and wait fo…

That feature would be brilliant! I would suggest that you include time intervals, ie. 24/3/2010 - 30/3/2010 into the options that include 'last 24 hours' and etc. I think it would …

Hi andrain, >Sometimes I overlook a big file Generally I'd say your usecase is rather special. Usually one wants to sync all files or only a few based on a preselection after compa…

Good to hear that it is on the list. I'm sorry I didn't check previous requests.

grobbla is right, simply as this ;)

I've writen a step-by-step guide how to configure RealtimeSync to run as a Service: [URL]

Thank you for this list of licenses.

Fantastic! It's a complete program. Thanks a lot!

I'm beginning release right now! Just give me a few more minutes. BTW: Thanks for your patience. Regards, Zenju

RealtimeSync is just some means to trigger the commandline as soon as certain directories change. Nothing more and nothing less. It has nothing to do with synchronization other tha…

Hi, I'm trying to recreate this - will let you know as soon as I do! Thanks!

> "B" can be further restrained as belonging to somebody who uses it 100% of the time in "read only" mode. That's nice but isn't even necessary. With the second layout having B as …

I found the fix! It's an IE issue, see this ... [URL] I unchecked this box - and now it works fine. Thanks!

Thank you very much for this ultra speedy answer ! jean-marie

I see what you are saying now. That's perfect. I didn't realize I could save the config in RTS, I was looking in FFS. Dang your good!

Sure: FFS will return with an error-code < 0 no matter what error handling is used. So just "ignore errors" and check the return value, to test if everything run smoothly.

Shouldn't expect anything else ;)

Good to hear! :) And happy new year!!

This would be a change in semantics of the config-history box. Currently it is used for config files that have been loaded at least once. I think showing all available config files…

Excellent! I'm glad to hear this! -Zenju

It has been discussed if the two file formats could be combined into a single one. But currently the main benefit from having the two is a distinct file- icon for each type on wind…

Have you tried switching to "comparison result"? This should pretty much do what you describe.

That's required by the Windows VSS API. However (at least if security is not a concern) I'd suggest to edit shortcut settings to start FFS with admin rights per default, this saves…

Is /usr/lib/ part of the PATH variable? If so, I could simplify steps 5 and 6 by first looking if its possible to load the resources without specifying a path and only if it fails …

Zenju, When I posted my question, I was using v3.0. Since then, I've upgraded to v3.1 and you're right -- it works exactly as desired. Thanks again. -TC

I totally agree with you Zenju. Seeing things like that, it seems that you choose the right way. keep up the great work, and let's what the future brings. To be honest i really don…

I did that, and i found that the only thing that needs to be changed is the <Folder> to <FolderPairs> and of course </Folder> to </FolderPairs>, and then this block as to be outsid…

[Quote] Thanks! :) There are still many features in my mind that are yet to be implemented. So I plan to make this program even better in the future. -Zenju

Error handling option "ignore errors" should work as described. Can you send me your batch configuration so that I can have a look? -Zenju
