FreeFileSync Forum

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…

[Quote] It looks like *ltrace* and *strace* are the pendants for Linux.

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.

It's not the same: - only "automatic" can detect file deletions and conflicts of type "change on both sides" - only "automatic" propagates all changes, e.g. you overwrite a newer f…

You could call the .ffs_batch from a .cmd file and add a net use /delete \\server\share after the sync.

Great! I think it works fine. The true is that I don't care spent time for sync too much. Your program is absolutely the best (possibilities, logging is fantastic, batch...just eve…

It should have worked both ways: as long as the config panel has input focus, it will delete all selected configurations upon pressing DEL.

It's probably not the FFS process but some system process that is handling the encryption and using most of the CPU. This is the case for Truecrypt, if that's the tool you're using…

Yes, it's ready, no known issues so far. (tested both Windows 8 32 and 64 bit)

No, permissions are not part of the data that is evaluated when searching differences on both sides.

The filter path needs to be relative to synchronization base directories. See the help file on "exclude items" for details. Shortcut: right-click on an item on main grid and exclud…

Thanks for the follow up on the registry entries. I can confirm none of those entries is created by FFS.

Then it's probably time for an update...

No problem, just right-click on the empty area on one of the other controls, e.g. between "compare" and "synchronize" buttons, and select the panel to restore via the context menu.

> show the old and new file names which would indicate that the file was renamed. The information is generally there, but we'd need a mechanism to transfer a list of items. An envi…

Yes, ERROR_BAD_NET_RESP 58 (0x3A) is the same error code like the one in the ticket above.

:-))) Thanks!

> And I'm not getting a log file in %SOURCE%\FreeFileSync\Logs as expected You should see an error message in this case. Generally, environment variables are supported in all direc…

Disregard. Maybe I made the FileTimeTolerance value while the GUI was open. I ensured that the entry in the .XML was saved without FFS being open, and it now appears to be working …

Well, it's ... and overview on the grid data. After comparison it should be clear what it represents. You can also do a directory analysis by specifying a single folder only, e.g. …

Uff, you were right about the recycle bin. It contained a batch of over 100.000 files of which I thought I deleted them permanently with Shift+Delete.. Thanks for your help. And fo…
