Hi all,

Is there a hidden feature to only AutoClose the progress window when nothing was found to sync?

As is:
<ProgressDialog Minimized="true" AutoClose="false"/>

Searched for:
<ProgressDialog Minimized="true" AutoClose="false if nothing synced"/>

Target idea:
Let the ffs_batch run in the background (Minimized=TRUE) and only show-up the results if differences were synced. Otherwise auto-close.

I run plenty of ffs_real. Sadly, these are triggered by a 'ghost' activities every now and then - and result in "zero" sync. I would like to hide these 'ghost'-syncs.
See my former post: viewtopic.php?t=12563

Many thanks - kind regards, Quasi

No such feature is presently available in FFS.
And as it is quite specific, I don't expect expect Zenju, the author of FSS, will be eager to add such feature.

The only thing I can imagine is that you change your sync(s) to run a post-sync command (via the "Run a Command" option in the FFS GUI Synchronization Settings (F8) ) that evaluates the log-file of the sync and takes the action you desire.

Hi Plerry,
many thanks for this quick reply! If Zenju ever reads these posts. He did at least never reply to one of my requests. Anyhow, this feature does not exist for now, so be it as it is. I will think about your idea about a post-sync command. I am ever happy to at least run the batches in the background :-)
Take care and many thanks for all your effort helping us 'normal users' with your expertise. Kind regards, Quasi
