Hello,
is there any chance how to use FFS as external directory sync app from Double Commander on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, Mint 21/22)?
Looks like that FFS has not implemented any standard command line parameters.
See: https://doublecmd.h1n.ru/viewtopic.php?p=12883&hilit=freefilesync#p12883

This is only possible way how to use FFS from command line in a "standard" form:
$ FreeFileSync -DirPair path1 path2
Everything more general must be performed by batch or global config files, which is terribly complicated :(

As far as the (dated) link, seems the naming (syntax) of the commands has changed.
2.11. Toolbar
2.13. Internal Commands
If you're looking to select a set of files in DC, & send only those files somewhere to sync, that's not going to fly because FFS is directory based. So you can send directories, but not subsets of the files in those directories (at least not without filtering, & filtering can't be passed as a command line option).
But if you're wanting a button in DC that invokes FFS that then runs a particular .ffs_batch or whatever, that can be done.
