[Quote] Isn't this where "detect moved files" comes into play?

[Quote] Thank you booth for the info :)

Wonderful, thanks!

Ah, excellent. Thanks.

[Quote] Looks like the syntax is not correct. See the help file chapter "[URL]" or better yet, exclude the files via context menu from the main dialog and let FFS handle the syntax…

I'd suggest to exclude the problematic files via filter rather than suppress all error messages. This way you will be notified if there is a new kind of error.

See help file chapter "[URL]: RunWithBackgroundPriority" and see if this will help.

Hi, FFS is fantastic, but now there is a blow from Android Boxes, which are very powerful (for ARM devices). I use several NAS devices and USB HDD with my Android BOX, which sooner…

Good, in case this particular error message comes back, it will be with more details. The original issue must be related to the launcher not finding (or being allowed to access) th…

Ok, thank you. So maybe I should not try synchronisation tools like ffs to handle my issue? Are there other approaches or tools which ignore the folder hierarchy? Any suggestions? …

FFS cannot determine a direction in which to sync, thous the warning, because the item will be skipped.

[Quote] Thank you @Zenju, the problem solved with [404, Invalid URL: https://freefilesync.org/FreeFileSync_6.15_bugfix_Source.zip]

You can do a Process Monitor ([URL]) trace while this happens, save it as .pml and send it to me via mail for analysis.

Yea, not the sole problem(s) with FFS from what I researched & can see.
