By default, the FFS Compare results window only shows files for which sync actions (in any form) are required, and hides files it thinks are equal. If you click the "="-icon mid be…

[Quote] That sounds more like a failing drive than anything else

Dear xCSxXenon. Thank you for your input. You're right. I did not think of that. I will use FFS for sync only. That is what it is made for.

Go SSD everyone! I have about 6 new flash drives I'll never use. SSD is a LOT more expensive, only the SPEED is WORTH IT! I get under 50 with flash and over 400 with SSD!

Good idea. I'll try that in the future. FFS finished synchronizing after 3 days lol.

Be aware that the location the %AppData% variable points to is computer-user specific

On my MAC I'm consistently getting a fatal error trying to install the latest (13.2) update, "failed to copy" error.

[URL] They are in the same place as the regular edition, but they aren't greyed out anymore

On the FreeFileSync Website I found some more information about the portable version. The portable version is only available for users of the donation edition: [URL] @mahmoud I pay…

> I don't see the delete on Left option anywhere to execute :) FreeFileSync (FFS) is a synchronization tool that (as the name suggests) makes your left- and right-side location (mo…

Also check the task in Task scheduler in case there are some unwanted things in that configuration

You could try modifying the FFS source code ...

There isn't a way to do that. You just have to let it stop on its own, then you can start the sync again. It will resume where it left off so you aren't having to redo all the tran…

You choose the locations yourself, it is not an issue with the program, it is an issue with how you set it up

I know that FFS doesn't use hashes - that's why FFS can't detect changes before first sync without sync.ffs_db. But maybe implement hashes only for one feature - "first scan" and u…

Any update on this?? Is it being worked on? Or am I just beating a dead horse here?

Slowness has rarely, if ever, been caused by FFS. And FFS 13.2 just released, so I'm not sure what "lately" means. Try transferring the files manually and see what speeds it runs a…

True, but I wished there was a better way of showing that just a folder's name has changed, other than showing each single of the 500 unchanged files contained in that folder two t…

Thank you for your answer, I know this method but that's not what I want/need because the name of the executable can change (and the extension can be different or no extension like…

It was manual. I did a Mirror, then tried an Update to see if it would clear the errors. No luck. Also, this is just backing up files from one internal hard drive to another intern…

And for your setup(s), copy your old [URL] -file(s) to the correct location(s) on your new computer. Note that each FFS-user on your old computer (if more than one) has its own Glo…

In Arch Linux the package to install gtk2 is named gtk2, based on [URL]

Is this error reproducible? I've seen Apache mail servers bounce back "without error details". It turns out, they do in fact return details, but inconveniently disguised as email t…

[Quote] Thanks for the tip. I changed it today and will keep an eye out to see if this solves the problem when I synchronise both external drives again in the future.

[Quote] Thank you!

Click the "compare" button. This have been the behavior for a long time

Once you run a compare, you can use the "Overview" panel in the bottom-left to do this easily

I'm having some problems with my PC, among them is this new error from FFS on startup: Cannot write file "E:\Shares\Shared Media\sync.ffs_db.59da.ffs_tmp". ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND: Th…

If somebody were to bother to go through the steps required to convert the FreeFileSync package into a WD My Cloud app ([URL]) it could be done. A list of available apps for that s…

> Is there a way ... Only the folders involved in your sync were (pre-renaming) previously in sync using FreeFileSync (FFS) AND you used the FFS database-file (the [URL] option).

Sounds like the location doesn't support maintaining timestamps. Try copying the files over manually. If the timestamps aren't maintained during a manual copy, then can't use times…

You explained yourself well, thanks! I'm the one who only partially understood. But that's okay! However, by creating two different synchronizations to run separately, one after th…

I believe he's saying to run 10.22 (available here, [URL]). Then after that, install 13.1. 10.22 should convert your configuration files such that they should then work in 13.1. I'…

Thanks a lot! I will try some experiments;)

I am sorry. Let me clarify. I want to run this as a scheduled mirror. At this point I am doing it manually to make sure it works without errors. Which it does not, yet. How can I r…

UPDATE: Did all you said, but still the same, so it looks like it's not just related to FFS. I moved the NAS downstairs next to my pc and tried gain, it worked. So moved it back an…

Sorry. I just solved it. I resaved the Info job as a batch file (clicking the icon in the top right of FFS) & checkmarked "run minimized" & "autoclose". Now it's behaving.
