Hello,

I noticed that somebody is maintaining a Flathub repository of FreeFilySync here:
https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/org.freefilesync.FreeFileSync

I would prefer to use the Flathub version which is automatically updated. Is there any way to use the Donation Edition with that repository?

I'm sort of hoping that that the difference between the two versions (free/Donation Edition) are only in certain file/directory that I could copy somewhere to my /home/myprofile/.var/app/org.freefilesync.FreeFileSync and maintain the updates via the Flathub...

If it's too sensitive to share feel free to PM me.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to allow it. The reason is (unsurprisingly) that third-party installers skip the "Support the Project" message during installation. With all advertisements being completely gone from the FFS installer at this point, direct support by users is what keeps the project financially afloat. https://freefilesync.org/faq.php#advertisement Zenju, 17 Feb 2021, 19:54
