You're doing just a tad too much. Create the realtime.ffs_batch only in FreeFileSync, not RealTimeSync. Open it in RealTimeSync and then save it as a RealTimeSync batch (realtime.f…

After about fifty attempts I solved this way: \AppData\Local\*slash_asterisk \AppData\Local\* \AppData\LocalLow\*slash_asterisk \AppData\LocalLow\* \AppData\Roaming\*slash_asterisk…

FreeFileSync doesn't cache the directory structure between runs, so the slow down must have a differenc reason.

When I setup a batch, does the order go from top to bottom? Just asking because when I go to add a line the top line drops into second place. Seems like if I add a line it should d…

[Quote] The new 6.11 beta version has solved that issue. Thank you for your hard work. Sorry for my late answer. I was abroad over the last week. With my best regards.

Sorry for the late response. I had a drive die in my NAS and I made the mistake of installing OS X Yosemite over the weekend. I have confirmed as of this morning that this problem …

The program installation wizard is in a weird language. I can't read it and I don't know what each thing does. What should I do?

I observed the following behaviour, which I cosider as bugs: 1.) If syncing has finished and you close the main window before the little progress window, FreFileSync crashes. 2.) t…

Got it working now. Just run FFS as admin: Right click on FFS shortcut on desktop and select properties. And under compatibility, check "run this program as an admin"

OK so the 'issue' is with RealtimeSync (the FreeFileSync retries was a bit of a red herring) i.e. the update that should have been kicked off every 60 seconds (plus mirror time) di…

> Disable write caching on the device I'd suggest to always disable caching in Windows for usb memory sticks (= the default), else you'll have to remember to manually "unmount" bef…

I had the same problem and I resolved it by set my user as the proprietary of the file. His emplacement is : C:\Users\"Your Name"\AppData\Roaming\FreeFileSync My version is 6.10 Re…

You are an impatient man ... (only 6 hours between initial post and "reminder") All info is in the help-file. (Don't have access to that now, but ...) For Windows Task Scheduler yo…

Hey! Is there an option to copy\sync files if a folder exist in one certain folder? For example: A folder name B C *file.mov If certain folder name exist under folder "A", sync the…

Sorry, didn't see that one coming, it's painful having to be asked to Google (i.e. I should have done this already). Common problem, temporary solution, increase the watches limit …

Receiving no response , I put my head in my hands and I thought............. The error messages indicate the FOLDER ( E: \). But ( E) is not a folder but a partition. So, I had the…

How can I do that? I cant find this in the Helpfile? Is this really the solution for different file sizes? Where did the different file sizes come from? Isnt it a filecopy-problem?

I suspect that as with many knowledgeable people you find it hard to imagine just how dense a layman like me can actually be :) Having said that, after much headscratching and swea…

[Quote] Stefan, the "??" was just my placeholder in the question, not the value I have in my XML file (grin), sorry for the confusion! I did not want to pre-answer the question by …

Hi, I've installed this product several times and never had an issue. However, today I did an install, configured a batch file, and started the program. In the past, it would just …

I've added application bundle version info for the next release. Thanks for the feedback!

Win 10 support was already implemented in the current beta: [404, Invalid URL: http://freefilesync.sourceforge.net/FreeFileSync_6.11_beta_Windows_Setup.exe]

I followed your instructions and I removed the flag from the following fields: 1) Copy file to Fail 2) A copy locked files IL program works perfectly as on windows. It remains, how…

Ah that would make sense. This is a first time sync to an empty HD. Thanks!

Exactly, I have "detect moved files" checked. That means, without the db file detect move won't work? Is it possible to save it to a different (notRO) location?

[Quote] Agree, did few more tests. The thread can be closed, thank you.

You don't need to restart FFS to update the comparison, just compare again (F5).

Thanks for that, I thought that I had done that but obviously not. As soon as I changed that setting, it worked.

The entire top bar is the menu bar. The right-hand side where the icon appears is actually the status menu. [URL] It's really not that big of a deal. The program works great and I …

oh wow, do i feel silly now! (see attched) i have no idea how all of that got in there, as i have never used the filter feature before, but my guess is that once i clear all of tho…

[Quote] The FFS log file should contain the names of the files that were synced. On my system I have increased the size of the FFS log file so that I have more history.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply Zenju.

[Quote] Thanks for the quick reply. Makes it more reliable.

Nobody reads documentation nowadays, so the goal is to make FreeFileSync as self-explanatory as possible. That said, is there something in particular that is not presented well eno…

admin account != elevation. Unfortunately MS themselves use confusing terminology by offering context menu options like "run as admin", while they should have said "run elevated". …

Confirmed. I can copy incomplete quicktimes that are still being written to.... :-(

I want FreeFileSync to show up when I do right-click of any file/folder. How can I enable context menu?

[Quote] Yes

Thanks sir. Will continue looking elsewhere...

Your scenario is well-supported. FFS database files are stored in each data location and it doesn't matter how many data sources participate in a FFS "two-way sync".

This is a side-effect of how filtering currently works: [404, Invalid URL: https://sourceforge.net/p/freefilesync/feature-requests/279/]

I've been using FFS for a couple of months with no problem. The last two backups had files tagged with Error Code 5: Access is denied (MoveFileEx). The first time it was a couple o…
