Is there a way to specify the location of one or both of the database files? I have a set of sync jobs that I use to keep local copies of files updated from a server so that I have access to them when I'm not attached to the network. However, the root folder for each directory is locked to prevent accidental modifications to the basic directory structure. As a result, FFS can't store a database file there and can't tell when a file has been deleted (instead it tries to restore the deleted file thinking that it is a new file on the other side).
Thank you.

Tools | Options -> Default log folder:, is that what you want?
Oh, you mean the sync.db (or whatever they're called, so ignore the above).

The sync.ffs_db-file (just like the sync.ffs_lock-file, if used) must be in the root of the left and right base-location, because syncs may be run on/by multiple computers to/from one and the same base-location.

As a workaround it's always possible to set up some arbitrary pair of folders and "mount in" the real folders for synchronization with symlinks. This way you have control on where the database files are stored.
