Did FFS EVER only sync the files that are shown in the sync panels? Am I hallucinating?

I've been using FFS since its inception waaay back then, and SWEAR that if I changed my view, e.g. showing only the files that will be copied from left to right, that that was what it did. It would NOT copy/sync files that were hidden from view. (I use FFS to sync only NEW files to the server. Most of the time I don't need for it to sync changes.)

Tonight, I noticed in the log that even though I hid the changed files from view, only leaving the new files visible, everything got synced.

Even a tutorial video from 8yrs ago clearly states that just because you hide fiels from view doesn't mean they won't get synced.

Was that EVER a feature? And if it wasn't, shouldn't it be to give us a simple way to no sync stuff we don't want to sync? I'm aware I can create a custom syn setting, but I thought using the view buttons would be super quick and simple.

Do I need to get my drinking water surveyed? Mandela effect?

Anybody can shed light on this, please?

Thank you!!!

This has never been a feature of FFS. Hiding files in the preview pane does not affect their syncing.

Thank you for replying. I guess I need to step up my game with doing more puzzles, and getting Omega-3 supplements for increased brain function? :)

Do you think such a feature would be helpful, though?

No, because as you said, it already exists in the settings
