Thank you. I'd never guessed that. Are there more secret setttings?

[Quote] Unless I misunderstand what you mean, that's exactly what I have done. I have a single batch that contains all of my folder pairs.

This feature is not yet implemented, but thanks for the feedback for OS X: [URL]

@Plerry: yes, that's no problem. FFS in general has no dependencies to "frameworks" of any kind which could be in an inconsistent state and would need a uninstall/reinstall routine…

The simplest solution is to use an environment macro instead of a fixed folder name. When the folders need to change, update the macro and restart from a script. Environment macros…

Thanks, Im an idiot, found that first day I was trailing and ignored it...also found I can drga multiple *.ffs jobs over and let it build that way. Paul

Your trying to do a move FFS is intended to "sync" as the name implies. I would just write a script using Robocopy and ForFiles from Microsoft.

Why not simply exclude that particular folder (and all its contents) from the sync in your sync definition?

[Quote] No.

So for the time being I thought I would suppress the recycle bin warning so my log monitoring program doesn't get triggered. I set WarnRecycleBinNotAvailable to false in GlobalSett…

Thank you, srjones67. <<<Dirk, I would look at the help in FFS it is very helpful and I would create test folders to see how each of the functions work so not to destroy your live …

That would be great. Many thanks again, glad not to have lost files.

Looks like [404, Invalid URL: http://sourceforge.net/p/freefilesync/support-requests/61/]

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

So easy. I actually activated it for some other files. I feel dumb. Thanks a lot for your quick reply.

So FFS does not cause such a window to pop up. Thank you.

Where is the extended search? I want to search for my user name to show my own posts.

How can I get notification e-mails on this forum? I couldn't find a way to enable it. There is no notification in the spam folders.

How can I show my own posts on this forum? Is there a way to do it like it works on other forums normally? "Subscriptions", "Watching", "Tracker" etc. seems to mean something else.

Currently the best thing is to "retry" either manually or via script that restarts the sync. One more reason for: [404, Invalid URL: https://sourceforge.net/p/freefilesync/feature-…

OK, thank you WPWoodJr.

Why does the date get changed when doing a Compare?

I didn't see anything about it in the Help file.

Thank you for your reply. I was wondering about this behaviour because it happended on a 1-TB-HD with 600 GB free space and a recycler size of 48 GB. But I did many operations, may…

[Quote] Thanks Zenju, the file association for .ffs_batch is not in place; should I associate it with the main program?

In Windows you can use forfiles to delete files older than x days. For example, I use: [Code] to list and then delete files more than 7 days old. There are more details at [URL]

@srjones I realize speeds aren't guaranteed but it was more than just being slow (at the beginning of this thread). Now Zenju is just trying to help me shave some time off, which I…

OK, thank you.

The new version supports both styles of having a time stamp appended to the file and time stamped subdirectories. See the help file for details.

This is not a FFS problem, but Windows design: Applications beginning with Vista do not have access to "program files" anymore unless they have admin rights. Using FFS's local inst…

Very nice! Can do it now! It's a great Sync tool! Very thanks! It will be better than perfect if you could include "Restore from last sync" or "Restore by date range" in the future…
