Hello
I’ve been using SyncToy for many years and appreciated the possibility to select the pairs I wanted to sync at any given time.
Is there a way to do that with FreeFileSync ?
Don’t sync all the pairs each time

Hit the '-' symbol to remove the pairs?

Thanks xCSxXenon, I had tried this but could not find a way to exclude a folder pair.
Besides, I do not want to always exclude certain folder pairs, using '_' is not particularly fast and easy.
In SyncToy I just selected "all folder pairs" and unselected those I wanted to exclude...
I switched to FileSync because SyncToy did not work well with my version of Windows...

Your workflow in SyncToy is no different than selecting the config in FFS and clicking the minus icon for the rows you want to exclude

Yes, but when I click the minus icon it does not only exclude the pair, it removes it completely - so that when I need to sync this particular pair I have to create it again, this is very unpractical and ridiculously time-consuming

Don't save the config? Then just click a different config and then reload it and the pairs are back
