[Quote] Thanks for the links! I totally agree that this is the fault of a user/dev who decides to create a file with "shady" characters that don't play well across multiple filesys…

To reproduce: • Set up source folder (e.g., \\MyServer\MyResource\MyFiles), set up target folder (e.g., \\MyBackupServer\MyResource\MyFiles) • Set up source folder (e.g., \\MyServe…

Would be nice to be able to set a particular compare/sync variant as the default. A radio button for the default variant of comparison, and a radio button for the default variant o…

I was able to get it installed but the FFS has a few issues. I must start FFS from a command line. No big deal. However, the terminal repeatedly displays "Loading IM context type '…

Are there any discussions or possibilities to parody the kind of feature set with Google Drive to [URL]? Maybe I am missing something, which I am looking for suggestions if I can d…

You can't. You would have to exclude all the other subdirectories of AppData. You are better off creating a second pair where you set "c:\users\david\AppData" on the left and "x:\u…

I have started using your program and I love it. I would like to propose including a ? (always ask) to decide what to do if I have accidentally deleted a file and want to recover i…

Hello, I'd like to propose an improvement for the "Send To" functionality, since I'd like to use FreeFileSync as a copy job handler from out of a file explorer window. If I mark se…

One difference I noted between these two is that the flatpak version (apparently?) does not include command line support. If you need to run any bash script with freefilesync (for …

Because if you rename/update a file, FFS doesn't necessarily know that you don't want it to be a new file. The update sync prevents deletions, but detecting moved files requires fi…

Good to hear! Such a weird thing since nothing has really changed on a macro level, but oh well, at least the sound is gone

[Quote] Hello, 1) As a general approach, if you can mount it as a drive in Winblows, then FreeFileSync can handle it. 2) ALSO, FreeFileSync has the "cloud" button in GUI that works…

Cool. Have you thought about writing logs to mySQL or something? Or the Windows Event Logs?

Personally, I kinda like parsing HTML sometimes. Of course, I don't parse form HTML-->TXT files, I parse from HTML-->SQLServer. If you guys ever need to parse HTML, I *HIGHLY* reco…

Correct! You can not select to ignore only specific errors. But you can always check the FFS log file afterwards for any other erros.
