Hi

i dint find the exact issue therefore new Thread ;)

Short explanation:
I want to Copy files from different Sources to one Destination
Yes the Sources are fileld with differnt Files and they will not conflict with each other

i tried to test following and couldnt get it running right.

i have a 5GB Test File on both Sources with differnt Filename
and want to copy them onto Z:\ in Parralel because Z:\ has enough Performance ;)

but it still stays on 1 Thread...

Parrallel Settings are:
- D:\ = 1
- E:\ = 1
- Z:\ = 2

i though FFS will create Folder Pairs based on Source / Destination ?
and i allow 1 Operation for each Source but 2 Operations for the Destination Drive ?

i have 2 Sources
- D:\
- E:\

and one Destination
- Z:\



Did i understand the Settings wrong ?

Setting 'D' and 'E' to 1 thread is irrelevant during synchronization because the maximum between left/right is used, which is '2' for both pairs. However, since there is only one file to sync in each pair, only one thread can be used.
As far as I know, the only way to accomplish what you want is to run two FFS sessions. You will also want to switch back to '1' thread, as threads don't ever really help unless artificially throttled.
