Hello, I need help.
I'm trying to use the "detect moved files" function without success.
I'm using the mirror option.
I want to move files on the source and synchronize on the destination.
I've already checked the option to use the database to detect changes, and I've already run the first check to create the database.
I checked the log, which displays this message: "Warning: Database file is not available: Setting default directions for synchronization."
I looked for the database files and couldn't find them, even though I displayed hidden files.
I have the impression that the database isn't being created.
Any help?

What are the two locations you are using?

I've tried several directories, even the root C:\test

Sounds like a permissions issue base on the limited info. If FFS doesn't have access to write, it won't. If you run FFS as administrator, does anything change?

I noticed that the database file appears for a moment with 1kb in size and then disappears, I tried to run it as administrator without changes

Try disabling any antivirus software temporarily. Seems something is interfering
