Is it possibel to run a batch job in "normal mode" (Not in silent
mode) and to activate the logging?

That's not possible. Basically two situations are recognized: 1. user attended
2. non-attended
1: All messages are redirected to the sync-dialog screen and error messages
are collected for the final result.
2: everything is moved into a logfile - no reason for showing visual results

This should work fine as long as you don't "switch" between the two
modes during runtime.

But when you a run a batch job in the "user attend" (with GUI) mode
you can see only the "current operation"!
At the end of the job it shows "Synchronization completed
successfully!" but it would be nice if you can see what exatly he have
done. (What he have deleted, copyed........).

When you use the silent mode you can exactly see what he have done:
FreeFileSync - Batchlauf (Datum: 15.10.2009 Uhrzeit: 07:49:28)
--------------------------------------------------------------

Protokollmeldungen:
-------------------
Start

Info: Kopiere Datei "Neu Textdokument.txt" nach
"C:\Sync Test" und überschreibe Ziel
Info: Synchronisation erfolgreich abgeschlossen!

Stop (Gesamtzeit: 00:00:00)

Thanks for your reply!!

>but it would be nice if you can see what exatly he have done.

The default behavior of only displaying errors/warnings in sync-progress
screen should suffice for most situations.
The question is if this small convenience of showing copied files additionally
satisfies an own distinct option. After all the information, wich files will
be copied can be retrieved by non-batch GUI mode.
