RealTimeSync runs nearly continuously

Love this software, but am having a problem. I exported a batch file from FreeFileSync to use with RTS. That works fine, except for one thing: RTS runs almost continuously. As soon as one synchronization is completed, RTS closes and restarts within a few seconds. How do I prevent this behavior.

For the record, I have already filtered out a few directories that might contain frequently-changed files to prevent them from triggering a sync.

Thanks for your help in resolving this.

That's the idea of RTS. as soon as it sees a change it runs, hence real time.

Currently there is no filter in RTS, this is likely the problem here.

For debugging purposes RTS offers macros "change_path" and "change_action" to find out what files trigger a sync. See help file "RTS overview".
