It's probably against RTS's philosophy to implement network login. Main problem is to manage the password prompt dialog. RTS is supposed to run in the background without needing ma…

Thanks for the fast response, yes I read that post before while searching for info about this problem and was thinking it was somehow related to it but since I dont have much idea …

Either compile manually following instructions provided in Compile.txt or ask Damien ([URL]) who maintains the Ubuntu PPA: [URL] -Zenju

Thank you AWJENKS, unlike Zenju response, yours was accurate and concise. Thanks again

...very sorry, I did not...actually the updates should have been done automatically, but that didn't work obviously...sorry again...is there a new portable version of FFC available…

You're welcome! Great program, so I'm glad to help.

any luck with getting rid of the batch files

Gee thanks but as I said wtf how and when?

There isn't any technical difference in batch (= starting ffs_batch files) or GUI mode, both run the same synchronization algorithm. So there must be some difference in the synchro…

The checkbox hides all items that do not match the filer, so it will hide all "blue rows".

When using relative path names the application will evaluate them relative to the current working directory. In the two cases you describe this creates some unexpected behavior, bu…

>What phases me is I got real time syncing without doing this right out of the box. Sounds like a miracle to me ;)

Thanks a lot! That solve my problem. What a fool I didn't thinking about that. Sorry for bothering with this question.

FFS can't split individual files. But if you have a large hierachy of directories, you can split these up into multiple "folder pairs" that can be run in a single FFS session. Here…

I'm currently solving a few problems on NAS shares related to this ticket: [404, Invalid URL: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1093080&aid=3353929&group_id=234430]…

Hi d7e7r7 If you want to copy all your drive or partition inside it and not only files, I sugest "Paragon Backup and Recovery Free", a drive imaging software. You can see a small d…

Depends on what you want to achieve. You can always delete one or both db files. They will be recreated by FFS the next time you sync with variant "automatic". If you do not delete…

Thanks for the fix, I'll try it out. And sorry about the "crazy" part. I simply use that phrase too frequently.

I suggest to first upgrade all your installations to the most recent version of FFS. If the issue then can still be reproduced please open a bug tracker item and provide details.

Thanks for the info. It seems getting rid of empty folders should be the default behavior here (and only for time span, not for filesize). Therefore I've made FFS exclude all direc…

The original question was about synchronizing distinct data sources by determining status at each location in isolation, then copying over "the diff". This is not possible with FFS…

Thanks I also think that you are right.I will focus on the other issue regards Frank

You needn't use an old version. Just specify the x64 executable directly: \bin\FreeFileSync_x64.exe

! I'd looked for a real time sync type option before, but as I couldn't see it in the sync option menus I assumed it must only be able to operate to schedule only.Thanks for your h…

This is not possible with the current version. (However I image there is a hacky workaround: reroute one of the two folders by a symbolic link and set this link as one of the to be…

Wow, that was fast. Thanks for your great work.

Use a variant other than "automatic" and you're good.

Thanks! I look forward to seeing 3.18.

There has been some change meanwhile. It's now in "globalsettings.xml"

Ok sorry again..Thanks.. :)

Hmm. It turns out that mirroring renamed folders on my local hard drive works fine, and simple mirroring to my network drive works OK too. The ffs_batch job I use to sync my source…

My bad: replace "Zstring" by "zstring"

Sure. It is "only" a limitation of the software interfaces used. However instead of hacking in a solution that removes the "retry" button in this specific case, it's better to make…

Not yet. Until then you can use the workaround described in the link.

The precompiled version is 32 bit Ubuntu. Running on a 64 bit OS will not work.

Have sent you my email via SF messaging system. Regarding the installer, just some misc. fixes. [404, Invalid URL: http://www.file-upload.net/download-3463851/hebrew.nsh.html]

It looks like I can just run the .ffs_real file and that bypasses the RealtimeSync startup screen. Awesome. =)

that works...thanks!

Thanks for your quick reply, it's much appreciated - the empty folder trick worked perfectly! Thanks once again for your support and great software.

The issues are probably related. Anyway they should be solved with v3.16

See my comment in the Bug report for a way to reproduce and to circumvent the problem.

>Did mirroring "cleans" the target folder before copying the new files? No, FFS operates file by file, with all operations being transactional. >Did i use mirroring in a wrong way?…

Okay nevermind. I am stupid. Figured it out.

No, comparison is based on the complete filename. -Zenju
