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 …

Thanks.

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".

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.

If nothing else helps you can disable the Shadow copy functionality in FFS's global settings.
