i try to add this as Destionation folder:
D:\!Backup\FFS\%appdata%
any chance to prevent this?
D:\!Backup\FFS\%appdata%
D:\!Backup\FFS\%appdata%\blabla
D:\!Backup\FFS\%username%\blabla
%appdata%
%username%
D:\!Backup\FFS\
already tried and it does not work, the %appdata% will also be expanded when browse the folderCreate the location and then use "browse" to select it in FFS xCSxXenon, 26 Mar 2023, 16:28
yeah, I know that, tried that and... it does not work ^^OK, so now it is clear what you want.
In the Windows command line, you can escape the special meaning of the % character by escaping it by itself, so %%. Not sure if that also works like that in FFS, but it does not hurt to try.
So, try typing e.g.
D:\!Backup\FFS\%%appdata%%\blabla
directly as your right-side base location. Plerry, 27 Mar 2023, 06:55
Well...Did some testing, I can't figure out how to get it to work either. I would say that using "%" in a folder name is a horrible idea, but it is a perfectly valid folder name. xCSxXenon, 28 Mar 2023, 14:38
%appdata%
%localappdata%
%programdata%
%userprofile%
@echo off
cd /d %~d0%~p0
for /D %%i in (*) do start %%i
pause
So this is a Bug that needs to be fixed anyhow, because... reasons 😁it is a perfectly valid folder name
set XFFS=C:\out\%%appdata%%
set x
pause
C:\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe -dirpair C:\out\mov %XFFS%
pause
