"Last sync" not updated after successful session

[weissauchnich]

I noticed this issue since version 13.8, I am using 13.9 now:
Normally, after completing a sync session, it would reset the info in the "Last sync" column. Now, however, this is not happening. It shows "10 days" even though there have been at least 3 successful session during the last week and one just now.
Can I expect that to be fixed in the next release(s)?

It is working fine for me so this is not a FFS issue

Well, this is not really a helpful answer.
This has worked until 13.7 (under Windows 11) and since 13.8 (using 14.0 now) it doesn't so it very much seems to be an issue with the most recent versions. Now it shows 83 days since last sync, but the last (succesful) sync was just this afternoon.

But: finger pointing doesn't help, whereas detailed information does.

So,please specify: where does FFS store the date of the last sync?

You're right, my reply was not helpful. Apologies, must've been a bad day, which is no excuse.
That info is stored in the GlobalSettings.xml file in your AppData folder. This file is read when FFS is opened and then overwritten when FFS is closed. I wonder if write privileges are missing for the directory/file?

No problem, thank you. I have checked GlobalSettings.xml and found some inconsistencies there - one folder pair that is no longer active. I deleted the entry and now it seems to work again ("Last sync" shows the the time of today's sync instead of "83 days"). Thank you for the help!

Glad it's working! It must have been silently failing since that pair no longer existed and thus the "last successful sync" never occured
