The exiting macro %ComputerName% is limited to 15 characters, when I use this macro try to make a single .ffs_gui that can be used to backup user profile on multiple computer, there was no warning of it would only use the first 15 characters of the Computer Name, and there would be a risk of mistakenly syncing file to a backup folder belongs to another computer with the same first 15 characters of the Computer Name, and corrupting the said backup as a result.
Since I can see at the end of the FreeFileSync log file the Computer Name that is longer than 15 characters can be resolved properly, please consider add a new macro such as %HOSTNAME% that don't have 15 characters limit, which is much more secure to use in a use case like I stated above. Thanks you for your consideration in advance.
Feature request - adding internal macro %HOSTNAME%
