Is there a way to have it open A new profile always on startup?
It'll end up opening my last config, And that I'll accidentally make changes to that one
always open new profile?

Nope. Opening the last-used config is more than likely preferable to the majority though. This seems like a tech solution to a people issue

You can simply click the "New" icon in the (normally top-left) Configuration window of the FFS GUI.

A hacky way to go about it, perhaps...
Start a New
Enter something simple for the source & target, like 'C'
Save that as ALWAYSNEW.ffs_gui
Quit FFS
Edit ALWAYSNEW.ffs_gui, changing the Folder Pairs:
Set the attributes for ALWAYSNEW.ffs_gui to read-only.
Change your shortcut to open FFS to:
Freefilesync.exe ALWAYSNEW.ffs_gui
FFS should then open, no directories selected
You cannot save changes made as ALWAYSNEW.ffs_gui (as you set the file to read-only), but you can Save As - to a new file name.
Something like that might work.
Something like that might have gotcha's ;-) ?

Easier: Create a new configuration each startup with an empty folder pair:A hacky way to go about it, perhaps... therube, 22 Jul 2024, 18:25
