Found thank you!

Thanks for the explanation....

I figured it out in the filter options somehow in the include section the * got removed. No idea how this happened but glad I figured it out.

Thanks for the tip, Zenju! Pressing the "default" button in Global Settings solved the problem for me.

as always, thank you for the quick reply, and as usual, if the feature is there and i missed it, well, i apologize for wasting time (and bandwidth!) i THINK the primary issue is th…

Dear FFS, I would like to sync my Skydrive files with an specific folder in my computer. I read some discussion in your blog. Is there a way to sync a Skydrive folder and a folder …

Ohh... don't know how I missed that. Thanks so much. This thread can be closed now (if that's how it works).

I have been able to reproduce the increasing CPU consumption and found the bug. It's been caused by a recent upgrade of an internal library ([URL]) I have updated the beta above wi…

Hi, this post to let you know that it's perfectly working ! thanks for the help.

These "error code 183" are - assuming that the target file did in fact not exist, else these would be legitmate errors - a buffering problem of the Samba share. When overwriting a …

Yes, but you will need to spawn three instances of RTS, one for each folder pair.

[Quote] Hi, thanks for the answer. I do not want to store these credentials in Windows. I will FFS let me ask always. Olaf

Note - I entered 2 backslashes in front of server but the post only showed 1 backslash. Here is a test with 1,2 and 3 backslashes \server \\server \\\server So looks like we need t…

Thank you Zenju! The first link was not my exact problem but close enough: In my Droid Razr Maxx I had to change the USB setting from "Connect as Media Device" to Mass Storage. Aft…

I think you have found just a *turnaround* (do not know the exact english term! :-) And yes, scheduled tasks run on different sessions by default: you need to select "Run only if u…

Middle grid is set to "category view", additionally you have hidden all categories in view filters at the bottom.

<<< And this is what FFS does a sync of 2 folder pairs. Thanks for pointing this out.

mmh, why does my machine not shutdown? I created a batch job which the user clicks, instead of shutting down the PC. FFS does sync, but then it just stays at the progresswindow of …

@Zenju No, thank you for such a great app that I use every day for many applications.

yes

I can't believe this. I spent hours trying to get this to work, because FFS says it defines a Mirror job as "Right folder is modified to exactly match left folder". Yet that isn't …

Ok, I found it hidden in a right-click menu "default view".

You can't use FFS to duplicate a system disk.

Yes, this is what save is for.

> FFS will compare the copied file and the original file ? Yes, it will read source and target files again after copying and binary-compare them. >Are there more great features Thi…

I have an existing synchronization I would like to edit to add another folder. How can I accomplish this?

"you should use RealtimeSync.exe with either a .ffs_batch or .ffs_real file as argument" I do. See point 7 in the first post. "However note the "delay" in RTS: After a change is de…

Okay, so you only want to sync the files which are new since last sync. You could try the "filter by timespan" and depending on how often you sync select for example a time span of…

For anyone that just wants a very fast easy way to change the date back to the true back up day this nifty little program does it quick (or alters a batch of exif dates you maybe d…

The color represents the level within the directory hierarchy; each level has its own color, repeating after 12 levels.

RealTimeSync will start monitoring as soon as it sees all directories that have been configured. There is probably a way to setup some really fancy script, that will only launch RT…

[Quote] Yes, thinking about it logically, Windows should present the filesystem the same way to most applications. The only gotcha would be performance. The "Compare" should use ti…

>but wouldn't it be ideal if a single job scanned all the directories and made synchronization decisions based on the full picture Sure, from a user's perspective. But I have doubt…

Right-click somewhere on free space, e.g. between comparison and synchronization buttons and use the context menu.

Apologies, I found another post that answered this question. Turns out I had 2 processes of FreeFileSync running which caused the error. Sorry for wasting a thread.
