Some additional interesting info here: [URL] 1) Mapped drives get interesting in combination with the "split-token" account, because of a weird dichotomy in the system (in large pa…

There is no automatic way to do this. But you can easily get at the list of files: Just setup FFS view filters to show all the files you are interested in, then either "export as C…

Zenju, thanks for the clarification, I was trying to keep it as simple as possible given the confusion building around the sequence of events necesary to get this to work. It is al…

Many thanks, Zenju, Strange, I meant to had tried the relative path before...but it works, many thanks. I do not get any e-mail notification on this forum, I have changed today my …

> daily sync_ffs_db file is damaged Do you mean it's damaged daily or that it is just damaged right now? The corruption may be caused by an error of the disk/network share where th…

This isn't an FFS issue it's a permissions issue. Be sure that the user you are running as in task scheduler has permissions. Search this forum I know I've seen this issue posted b…

nice one thanks

Exactly

Problem solved. I must have forgotten to press the Portable button in some previous install. Thank you very much for the quick reply.

It's not possible to ignore case, but it shouldn't be a problem: FFS doesn't copy files if it detects they differ in case only, it only renames the target side.

OK, thank you, Zenju.

Yes, symptoms identical to: [URL]

Here's what worked for other users: [404, Invalid URL: https://sourceforge.net/p/freefilesync/support-requests/124/]

Do you think there is a bug?

srjones67 is right, it's probably: [URL]

If it works in GUI mode but not in batch, then there must be a difference in the execution context of the process. Maybe you are starting the batch job as a different user or witho…

I have error 3 Problems in Batch mode. While the same settings work fine in FFS itself. My version is current. Pls. also see here: [URL]

I'm just saying that if it's possible to run a GTK application unattended (what I don't know), then this approach should work for FFS, too. So I wouldn't expect it to be impossible…

Crap ! I just rechecked the version (it was v5.10) ... I must have reinstalled the wrong one. I have installed v5.11 now and it is working fine for the last 2 hours. My mistake ...…

I use FFS "Two Way" synchronization and select "Versioning" in the settings of "Deletion handling" using naming convention "Replace" to a folder named "D:\versioning". Computer A r…

Yes, there's no reboot required. This setting will "lower the resource scheduling priorities of the process (and its threads) so that it can perform background work without signifi…

Many thanks, Zenju. <<<"deletion handling" in synchronization settings "Recycle Bin" is activated there. <<<FFS treats overwritten files the same as deleted files. OK, that means F…

Thanks Zenju.

Check your network permissions.

> it will mirror but possibly mirror in the wrong sequence So it's not really a "mirror" sync then? If it were a set of mirror syncs, then they should be independent of each other.…

Found thank you!

[URL]

Thanks for the explanation....

I figured it out in the filter options somehow in the include section the * got removed. No idea how this happened but glad I figured it out.

Thanks for the tip, Zenju! Pressing the "default" button in Global Settings solved the problem for me.

> I have already filtered out a few directories Currently there is no filter in RTS, this is likely the problem here. [404, Invalid URL: https://sourceforge.net/p/freefilesync/feat…

as always, thank you for the quick reply, and as usual, if the feature is there and i missed it, well, i apologize for wasting time (and bandwidth!) i THINK the primary issue is th…

Dear FFS, I would like to sync my Skydrive files with an specific folder in my computer. I read some discussion in your blog. Is there a way to sync a Skydrive folder and a folder …

Ohh... don't know how I missed that. Thanks so much. This thread can be closed now (if that's how it works).

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

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".
