... and everything is OK :)

This behavior is fine and as designed. It is due to issues discussed here: [404, Invalid URL: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2963611&group_id=234430&atid=1093083]

Many many thanks Zenju, for implementing this. It works great now. (btw. sorry for not replying earlier, but I've been away for a while) Anyway, just great. Also the way you handle…

Thanks. It's not exactly what I was doing. However, it did give me a hint. Installing the 32-bit version under Windows 7 seems to have fixed them problem :-) regards Stephen

Currently environment variables are supported only for directory input fields: 1. folder pairs on main screen 2. user-defined deletion directory 3. logfile directory Environment va…

I think the behavior for custom sync settings should be like for file filters. This way a user would only have to learn one behavior. That is, when you change the custom settings, …

The concept of location you describe is pretty similar to the concept that's actually implemented: The full path name is nowhere saved so it is truly independent from the name of t…

1.) That's understandable: If you start not in admin mode, you are a standard user from the tool's point of view (It doesn't matter that you are logged into Windows as an admin.) 2…

Ok! Thanks for your reply. I'll be looking forward its implementation if you consider it to be possible and convenient. Thanks!

Right, during logoff there's not systray. Unfortunately I don't have a solution for this.

One of the directories, either source or target, have not been specified, i.e. the field where the name of the directory is supposed to be placed, is empty.

No, all configuration data is passed by a *.ffs_real file (or implicitly via *.ffs_batch)

Ok, shame on me. First thing which should I have thought of ... Thanks

OK, it did the trick, thanks!

Use multiple folder pairs; one pair for each drive.

Currently that's not possible. So you'd need a distinct folder on target drive for each camera to avoid these name collisions.

Two small remarks: > Create an empty folder on the memory stick where you want the synced folder to be. This step can be simplified: It's sufficient to enter the new directory as t…

> how does overwriting work The file is deleted first (respecting deletion policy "recycle bin/user- def-directory/permanently) and then copied. Regards, Zenju

In the FFS GUI, click on Advancd, "Create batch job" and in the window that appears you'll see a tick box for "silent mode"

Ok! Thanks for your answer!!

>what is the format The important is to enter everything relative to the base synchronization directories: E.g. if "Picasa.ini" is located in a subdir called "Sub", then you'd ente…

Just seing difference is no problem: Start GUI mode and switch view to "comparison result" instead of "sync-preview". -Zenju

[Quote] GREAT! Go FFS!!! #1...

Thanks Zenju! I can live with that... :-)

[Quote] Yes, it's all ok. Sorry for the mistake, this thing has made me crazy... Sorry again and thanks. Gigi

[Quote] Thanks for that! it now works on my work PC. Cheers, Roger
