Maybe those files in the source don't have valid timestamps, thus forcing the current date/time to be used. [URL]

The "reset layout" worked! I am embarrassed that I did not look at that; I assumed something like that would be in Preferences.

[Quote] I solved my problem that way, thanks

I think you would need a new donation entirely. This hasn't been asked ever before though

Thank you for reporting back! Glad it ended up resolved for you

There are multiple .ffs file types, you need to specify exactly which one you have in your startup folder

The issue should be fixed as I've implemented a work around for the next release. ETA planned for later today!

Thank you very much!

On the contrary, that is exactly what that screenshot shows. That is the contents of the downloads folder, with the .zip file I was provided and the 2 files that were archived in t…

Ran into this issue tonight, you need to make sure that FreeFileSync was installed to the /opt/freefilesync/ location. If it was, then you will need to prepend your statement with,…

oops! thanks

I found the plus sign this is a great product now need to figure out how to have it monitor a folder and push to all on change

BTW, I noticed that in the About dialog, only the last Show() must be kept. Having both leads to corruption in the dialog (at the location of the donation text + image)

What about using one of these (as per [URL]), for minimal exception handling? - wxApp::OnExceptionInMainLoop() - wxApp::OnUnhandledException()

Thanks for your support, Zenju. I don't use My Computers on Google Drive, nor do I have plans to use it. And changing the flag LockDirectoriesDuringSync to false as suggested by @P…

Yeah that fixed it. I wonder why the version in such a major repository is so old.

[URL] You can also invoke specific GlobalSettings.xml options by invoking a sync via command line

tcw4950, you can find a package of FreeFileSync 13.3 for Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) [URL].

If you don't manage to get FFS launched by RTS, you can always resort to launching your FFS sync as a scheduled task. Obviously, this may not run the sync "as soon as" as a change …

I don't know the reason for your approach. If e.g. the content of A is too big to fit just on B or just on C, you can also divide the content of A between B and C in a more structu…

In FreeFileSync (FFS), files that do not pass the Filter rules are not considered for any sync actions. So, if you set the Time Span to 1 Day, only files modified in the last day a…

[Quote] Thanks for the suggestion! When I first read that, I didn't think it would be the culprit because of how I'm only seeing the issue with one folder. I would think that I'd s…

Thanks @Plerry.
