I would like to be able, at any given time, to select which pairs to sync from my listed ones, as I could do with SyncToy.
With FFS, if I click on the minus sign, the pair is completely removed, so that when I do want to sync it I have to re-create it. This is both unpractical and time-consuming.

You can also use the command line to 'override' and select pairs.

Thanks again for your help.
But you have to admit that this is not very user friendly !
I’m used to just having to click, in my list of pairs, on the files I want to sync at any given time.
I’ll stick to SyncToy on my laptop for now, with Windows 11 Pro 24H2 it works fine.
On my PC, unfortunately, it plays up with version 25H2.
So, if things could get easier on FFS, it would be a great progress for me !

You’re all very helpful, and I’m thankful.
But, once again, you must admit these solutions are both intricate, time-consuming and definitely not user-friendly !
I found a software better suited to my needs.... and my level of expertise !
I'll keep an eye on FFS, in case things change ! :)
