Hi,
In main screen, I add multiple folder pairs (it is often more intuitive than filters).

1.- Feature request: [>] (Arrange folder pair) : Add more options (with same [>] in first row)
-- Add folder pair above -- (obvious)
-- Add folder pair below
-- Duplicate folder pair -- helps for long paths to change only final subfolder
-- Disable / Enable folder pair -- (When disabled, show the path grayed )
-- Remove folder pair --(and suppress the red [-] icon to allow more space for paths)
-- Move Up
-- Move Down

2.- Feature request: central [gear] (Local comparison settings) + [gear]: (Local synchronization settings)
-- Show the same submenu options than in Main buttons
-- Add a submenu option "Settings dialog..."

3.- Resize buttons in folder pairs to allow more space for paths
-- Change large "Browse" button by tiny "..." button
-- Reduce large "Cloud" icon
-- Suppress the "[-] (Remove folder pair)" icon, it appears inside [>] (Arrange forlder pair) submenu

I guess that those simple changes will improve the usability of the interface.

Cheers. Best regards for all.

I do enjoy your first set of suggestions. I have definitely found myself juggling around paths to order them in a more concise way. Adding pair above/below would be sweet

I also vote for move up/down.
I also wanted to organize my paths more than once.

Be aware that any re-ordering of your left-right folder pairs would be only good for your own insight/overview.
The order in which files are actually synced by FFS has no relation to the sequence in which your folder pairs are listed.
