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?

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…

To Stefan and Zenju, thanks very much. Both of your tips work!

Oh, if you think 17k files is a lot... (I don't think you do, but still, if you make these limits so low) I recently downloaded the source code to something. I think it had about 5…

Follow up: I want to link this thread as it describes the same problem (I think). thx. BUG: Starting FreeFileSync.exe from another process yields Error Code 32 [URL]

You probably want to use a "local" FreeFileSync installation instead, which will store the program in "C:\program files" and save all configuration data in %appdata%/FreeFileSync.
