No need to uninstall as you'd lose all global settings. Just install the version you want, this will work as expected.

> Of course, I can go to the filter and remove the excluded items. Spot on!

There are more options. This command installs without interrupt: [Code] You can find this with [Code] in a terminal. Accept with y and search for "--accept-license" by entering /--…

thank you that worked

That should be "change_path", thanks!

Start by watching some the [URL].

Thank you for your reply. I am sad to know that its a FFS feature. Perhaps there is a way to synchronize directory time like Robocopy or Rsync. Now I use Rsync to fix dir time afte…

Thank you for the reply! I missed that option when creating the batch file.

There are cmd utilities to eject USBs and they can be invoked using a post-sync command from FFS

Thanks, that appeared to do it.

Noted xCSxXenon, Thank you.

[Quote] Well isn't that nifty

If you run FFS Mirror or Update syncs without having checkmarked the "Detect moved files" option, FFS will simply compare the (size and date/time) of identically named left and rig…

My take on this is that is way too many threads. My rule of thumb for threading is 2 to 4 threads per physical disk. Here's my reasoning: A physical disk can only perform 1 read or…

As described, VerifyCopiedFiles is a setting stored in "your" GlobalSettings.xml-file, just like e.g. FailSafeFileCopy. If running syncs with or without VerifyCopiedFiles is that i…

I share this exact same need. Only difference from Johnkmc is using hard links for both raw and developed files. There are several needs. One is to organize (the same) photos into …

[Quote] This was the important part. OP never responded so who knows

Donations are not available then

There is no real way to know if a file is encrypted instead of flat out modified. FFS won't be able to fit into that complex of a situation

@therube You might add something like this to your uBlockOrigin filters: [Code] Unfortunately it can't be hidden without also hiding the number of topics, so I just made the font c…

You create the problem yourself by having computer A and computer B sync e.g. to one and the same location on the NAS. Simply create different shares, or at least different folders…

But then the tooltip should say show/hide and not only show.

It's also and open source program where anyone can dig around the code to see what it does. You can cross reference the API calls used with the descriptions of what they do from Go…

Thanks for the follow up. Would be interested to see what freefilesync devs say, and fix this issue if possible.

I just heard back from Synology that this date problem is a known issue with copying from NAS to USB within DSM. Next time I'll just copy with Windows, even though it will be slowe…

Thank you for investigating and solving the problem.

Hi Zenju, I downloaded both the basic 12.0 and the Download Edition. I can confirm that they both run without error. Thanks again. John

For one-off syncs there is [URL]

You can do it manually: [URL] [URL] PS: FFS is yet missing "move to": [URL]

For the behavior you want, instead of an absolute symlink like [Code] you could use a relative symlink to: [Code] The question is how much should FreeFileSync help in this regard. …

You can create config groups via color: [URL]

Care to translate the message?

I find a positive difference in using Parallel threads. For one such Config, I went from 4.5 hrs (using 1 thread) to 1 hr 40 mins in using multiple threads. My system below. My que…

[Quote] Thanks! But I don't want to delve into command lines and all. I stumbled into Beyond Compare and it worked nicely. It is less straightforward and "clean" than FFS, but usin…

It would be best if you said what didn't work. Maybe I, and others, have run into that problem and know how to work around it. I have no problem using one drive but you must be CAR…

[Quote] Same here on MacOs Monterey on FFS 12.0 Donation syncing from GDrive to local.

Fixed!

Zenju, thank you for your reply and explanation.
