FFS displays folder contents incompletely: When comparing two media, FFS incompletely displays the contents: There are definitely the same Folfers/files on both media, but according to FFS the contents are different - what could be the reason?

thanks for help

In the Compare results window of the FFS GUI, FFS shows what differences it has found and what sync actions are proposed. That should give a hint.

Hi Plerry, thanks for trying to help.
Ah, I misunderstood the system - it only shows the differences and not the files that are already identical.

I missed the identical files....

thanks for your assistance :-)

> ... it only shows the differences and not the files that are already identical.

That is the default.
However, you can also make the other Compare result Categories visible (and hide those again), by clicking e.g. the "=" (equal sign) icon mid below the the Compare results.
Note that there are only such icons for Categories that are not empty.
