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…

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…

Yes

This is very strange, your configuration is okay, basically this should work. I tried on my PC (with your exclude strings) and excluding "System Volume Information" worked correctl…

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

Context menu entries for adapting direction are already included in the current version v2.2. Additionally in the next version there will be an option to select a default direction…

[Quote] Thank you for that, I look forward to v2.3.

[Quote] Yes, Zenju, I think you are right. Thanks for the attention.

[Quote] Many thanks! In version 2.1, filters works as before. Good work. Also, many thanks for linux version. Go on this way.

Thanks, working perfect now :-)

[Quote] Hi! "Drag and drop" propably was the wrong term. What I meant was "Left-click, hold, relase" (LHR). First ensure that you are in the "sync preview" mode (example: [404, Inv…

No problem! Actually I can understand your confusion and have fixed it for the next release: If you add a new folder pair, the list of pairs automatically gets scrolled down to the…

[Quote] Thanks! and best wishes. And just to say I like the icons that you use with FreeFileSync, nice and bold and easy to understand. Cheers, Rog

Thank you for the quick reply Zenju. I didn't think to look for a context menu for the middle grid. Doh! My bad. Keep up the good work, Bob

[Quote] Yes, VERY good. Took me a little to get used to it. It works well. I use it for a 8gb usb memory pen. Just downloaded latest version (V1.19) Thanks :)

[Quote] Thanks for your reply, I'll watch for the new version.
