[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 …

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?

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.

I've been using this software for a couple years now and greatly appreciate the simplicity, reliability, and intuitiveness. With all the "bad" software I have used over the years, …

Fixed! [Quote]

That will be great! Thanks very much. David

If you save a configuration with one-way mirroring, an accident wouldn't be possible

You can run a compare and then highlight only different sections to sync manually instead of everything. Or use filters if you expect to do this multiple times

Simply run a left-right Compare, and select to view the suitable compare-result category (mid below the compare-results. You can then review the list, and if you want to even expor…

Simply select the [URL] The Update sync variant leaves files that pre-exist in the right (destination) location intact, if those files do not, or no longer exist in the left (sourc…

That is true. Content compare should work, but it is incredibly slow from my memory

[Quote] Sounds outside the scope of a syncing program

Hy, and thank you for your professional help . Solved the problem concerning the error of the Globalsetting.xml but when J save the batch job in Automator and save my scheduled app…

Hi Eric, I was hoping you found a way to do that by now. If so, it would be very much appreciated if you could share your findings :) Thanks in advance, Cheers!

[Quote] In other words: Running my specific FFS jobs from command line, and passing a customized config file via command line parameter does the trick, correct? If so, that is the …

Thanks!

I was thinking of removing the drop down entries for choosing folders. But, thanks to you, I realized that it was enough to select an entry from the list and press DEL. Thanks.

Does this mean native file system, and MTP will get user-configurable timeouts? Or they just have no timeout now?
