This could be done with a batch script or PowerShell script as well, and is more likely than it being implemented in FFS

Would be really nice if Registered.dat could be read from the settings dir or something similar. then this would enable installing the regular version and put your license file som…

[Quote] That's wonderful news, thank you very much!

Fixed for next release: [URL]

[Quote]I had to check, but [URL] SHA256 does not include/compare ADS-data.

FFS creates a database to track file deletions/updates. The file name is different for Windows and Linux. Usually that is not a huge issue. It just tracks it twice. This topic also…

I also encountered this issue now on version 14.9. The instance gets hidden. However, there is no item in the menu bar (which is what 'minimize to notification area' sounds like it…

My OS is Linux, Debian 13. I just found how to set the order, from "Select a folder" panel: - Right-click on the title of a column (e.g. Name). - Appears a pop-up where to choose d…

@d.andras If you get the donation version which I have you can set the app to automatically email you when the job completes. You will get an email either saying that it was succes…

Hello. Is there a possibility for the developers to add the "notes" box from the "Synchronization Settings" to the main window (or even as a messagebox), so that shese notes will b…

You can define a ComputerName specific Versioning folder. (That is, specific to the Computer that on which your FFS sync runs, not the Computer the file that gets deleted or overwr…

Proper backup strategy is the solution to that

If all files with a name starting with 01 have the same folder depth to your left and right base location, you should still be able to do it. As per your example: 1. \foo\01 myFold…

I'm having the same problem, any solutions or tips?

Thank you!

This is a synchronization tool, not cp/rsync/rclone...

Just fork [URL] and let us know about any meaningful contributions.

Those are not included in the source for the application. They're not strictly required for building the application from these generated C++ files. It would be cool to see them, h…

Eh, WinGet and package managers in general are pretty great. Being able to load/update with software-agnostic CLI is awesome. Couple problems with FFS being on WinGet though: - Sil…

+1 Why one of the most important options is hidden from the GUI is beyond me. To reduce the influence of any cache on the receiving side the verification process should not run bet…

Would it be possible for FreeFileSync to remember the size of the Synchronization Settings window? I use long paths, and that window is so narrow it results in wrapping, which make…

You need to use the "Mirror" variant: "Update" is not an option of it, is a totally different variant.

so I can donate

Please implement a custom secure copy setting for tasks, rather than a general one in the settings. For example, to sync with "S3" storage, you need to disable this option to preve…

Thank you for the explanation. I'm basically wanting to do an incremental backup starting from a specific date. The "This Month" Time Span filter will be fine for my requirement. T…

You're right; converting it to .txt must have changed the encoding. Strangely enough, both versions run without a hitch on my computer—UTF-8-BOM is the correct encoding.

Anyone else that wants the time estimation to be improved? I guess we have a pretty good strategy worked out in this thread.

In FFS the comparison progress is shown docked at the top of the FFS-window. I really love this, because no extra window is shown. The synchronization progress is a separate window…

Yes that's what I discovered too. That is precisely the feature that I was suggesting should be added - and I can't imagine it should be too complicated. I t would be very useful, …

"\999" is going to be a subset of "*\999" and produces no difference in your limited dataset. Just because: 111*: \111*: *\111*: all end up with the same result in your tests, does…

I suppose you refer to the "time-stamp" naming convention used in Versioning. For the "time-stamp [File]" option I don't think you can (unless you change the program source and com…

Thank you, I'll get on with it.

And so, FFS that freeze is merely the visible symptom of a much more serious problem and external to FFS, and so irresolvable. Get it, thanks.

version 14.9: [Code]

Worked fine for me, using your files provided, running 14.9 Donation Edition as well. Is this Toshiba disk attached via USB? Or is it some cloud/network device? Copying the files m…

I had to redo the syncing of some folders. The regular syncing process wasn't hard, just following YouTube tutorials. However, RealTimeSync wasn't as easy. I had it set up before, …

Thank you for your patience. For the sake of completeness, having said that, if you wish, we can close: The parent folder contains the file that stores all the passwords saved in t…

I can get it to mirrow and compare. That's not the issue. It starts getting wonky when tyring to tie in RealTimeSync. I have found Cobian and I am happy with that. Much simpler to …

Thanks.. I had not noticed that.

Thank you much for the explanation. That would seem the most functional premise and pleased to hear that's how FFS handles it. I don't see any ability for Kudo points, likes etc on…
