Hello, how can I configure RealtimeSync to synchronize multiple folders?
In the realtime sync configuration screen I only see the possibility of setting a single "source" folder and the corresponding "target" folder.
If I have multiple "source" folders and multiple "target" folders, what should I do?
Example:
Source2 --> Target2
Source3 --> Target3
Source4 --> Target4
I tried to upload the batch file I created after setting all my folders for classic mode synchronization, but it doesn't work.
Thanks for your help

The simplest solution:
drag your *.ffs_batch sync configuration file into the RealTimeSync (RTS) GUI window.
As an alternative, in the RTS GUI use the green "+"-icon in front of the list of Folders To Watch For Changes.

thankyou for your help, but:
" The simplest solution:

Seems doesn't work, i will retry
"As an alternative, in the RTS GUI use the green "+"-icon in front of the list of Folders To Watch For Changes"
in this case i don't undestand how to define Folder Source and folder Target.
If i click (+) the folder added is the Source? and how i can define the target?

RTS is not aware which folder(s) is/are source and which folder(s) is/are target.
RTS simply monitors the listed folder(s) for changes, and upon detecting any such changes launches the specified command-line, usually FreeFileFileSync running a specified *.ffs_batch sync configuration.
In case of a Two-Way sync, there is no specific source and target, so both sides need to be monitored for changes.
In case of a Mirror or Update sync, one would only need to monitor the source/left-side location.
When dragging a *.ffs_batch file into the RTS GUI window, RTS adds all left- and right-side folders to the "to be monitored" list and is not aware of, or does not consider, the sync variant(s) specified in the *.ffs_batch file.

Thankyou for explanation.
I've try again to import the batch file in RTS and delete the target link folders (i leave only the source folder link) and now works!
