FreeFileSync Forum

There is no direct support to temporarily disable folder pairs, but there are a few workarounds: 1. The most obvious: create multiple configurations, each of which contains the sub…

Ah - *.mp3 was in the exclusion filter - twice! I certainly didn't put it there, as it defeats the object of what I'm doing! The "Smart-pad" I have is hyper-sensitive, even after t…

Thanks, but that didn't help, as the problem is in the comparison. I have some screen shots as evidence and will start a new report for that when I have the time.

FreeFileSync copies full files only via the Operating System's default copy routine.

There's been a bug in the auto-updater of this old release. As for the config file conversion, if the converter is not working, the next best solution is to use a text editor and p…

Thanks a lot, now I know where to continue. I am quite far from a programmer, I realised that the messages about the '[' and '{' tokens must mean a problem with the source code in …

Am using version 4.6. Synch a laptop to a NAS Netgear "Stora." Items I delete from my laptop reappear there after sync. How do I fix this? Setting is "Automatic." Thank you,

The target folders need not exist. I assume you are worried about the error message "directory not existing"? Just ignore it, FFS will create them automatically. However the main t…

In general it seems it's not a good idea to continue copying a partially transferred files for reasons of data corruption: 1. At the time of copy interruption, it's not clear what …

If you have set delection handling to "recycle bin" or "versioning" you can retrieve deleted and overwritten files from their respective location.

The ffs_batch files need to be migrated (= load and save them again) [404, Invalid URL: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3466418&group_id=234430&atid=1093080]

From the symptoms you describe this seems to be a WLAN rather than a FFS problem. You can try to reset your WLAN and all attached devices, not only reset, but physically pull the p…

It's difficult to deduce the source of this issue with only a generic error description. The best you can do is do a couple of tests, changing some of the "variables", e.g. the too…

Thanks. And this is in the help text for the filter dialog, sorry for asking a RTFM question. With some experimenting, I figured out that the filter strings are (apparently) applie…

No, the only existing conversion is via GUI. I figure the main nuisance is batch dialog automatically closing after saving config. Maybe unding this "optimization" solves the probl…

The behavior is hard-coded. In general it seems simply overwriting is safe to do, although I agree, it leaves a certain "uncanny" feeling. See the discussion here: [URL]

Look at the help. You can run it as a service

Thanks Zenju! I think that I had a file open while I did my sync, and this is what caused the problem.

Version 4.6 appears to have fixed this problem. Freefilesync is working again. Thanks for your support and also a big thanks for a program that is excellent!

thx!

If you disable Menu->GlobalSettings: "transactional file copy" this should do the trick. FFS will not write a temporary file first, but directly overwrite the target files.

Thank you for the feedback! The problem is due to a buggy file system implementation that comes up when trying to detect moved files. The new version of FFS implements a workaround…

Just like any other program, via command line it's: sudo ./FreeFileSync

The recent versions of FreeFileSync require GCC 4.6.1 which is shipped with Ubuntu 11.10.

Here is the final fixed version: [404, Invalid URL: http://ifile.it/5140my8/FreeFileSync_v4.6_beta_setup.exe]

Just update to v4.5.

The database updates are a bit of a frustration for me too. I have many syncs set up, to multiple external drives, and to a freenas server from multiple computers. Its very time co…

FreeFileSync does not return "path not found" anymore if traversing an empty root directory or other directories that do not have . or .. entries (for whatever reason, probably bug…

I've done a detailed analysis of peak memory consumption and added the result to the old tracker, to keep the topic at one place: [404, Invalid URL: https://sourceforge.net/tracker…

Sorry, I overlooked Zenju's reply! It is working fine now using updated dll files. Thank you very much! Nob

:( no option to edit the defaults

The size of the "user-defined" deletion directory is unlimited. For a more user-configurable recycle option, the regular Windows recycler will do.

Please note the hints in the helpfile on RealtimeSync. They should answer all important questions. Press F1, either in RealtimeSync or FreeFileSync.

Perfect! Now I hope they'll fix the newly introduced graphics glitches in wxWidgets 2.9 before they make the stable release and everybody will be happy.

No drive is being mapped. This is just for the credentials to the resource. If there is no current connection to the server/share, ffs will not be able to access it, like any other…

>hide the DOS window FFS help file contains a few tips on "Batch Scripting". Here's the one you were looking for: "During execution of a Windows Batch file (*.bat/*.cmd) a black co…

An application hangs if it is not processing GUI messages. FFS does this after each element (file/dir/symlink) which is processed and also during file copy, roughly about every 64 …

you right, a good make install will solve the trouble! thanks

New round: v4.1: [URL] No more false positives!

Thanks for the answer! Now I know FFS is perfect for the job

Thanks Zenju
