Hey,
so i successfully scheduled it that my sync settings are being executed when i log in to Windows.
It automatically runs the sync but i would like to get a prompt or something so i can look at the upcoming file changes and make and educated decision if i wanna run it or not.

Maybe im missing something very obvious. Please help :)

I suppose you now have FFS run a *.ffs_batch sync configuration.
If you save your sync configuration as a *.ffs_gui sync configuration.
When you have FFS run a *.ffs_gui sync configuration, it always opens in the FFS GUI.

I would prefer if it would automatically compare and just prompt me for Sync but if that doesnt work this is still close enough ! Thanks !

@frozn1991 You asked exactly the question I wanted to ask, and for exactly the reason you did.

The answer is simple. Instead of creating a batch process, create a normal one. Then set up the task but set the extra process to call the normal process file rather than a batch one.
That starts the sync process but stops once the files have been compared,. You have to choose whether to do the job or not.
